I could not have put what you said better. Can only ditto how we all behaved in those days. The hardest thing to understand today is the fundamentals have changed. Selling on the news is a problem I had.
I made a good living from punting, paid off family debt and paid cash for a house but never gave away my day job. Quit when bought house. X now owns it.
Today I spend my time on catch up. Never got over selling a share at 12 cents that went to a dollar or another at 13cents that went to $ 2.50.
