yep, and it's as easy as that if you don't have the psychology for it
I've sold RNU down a bit this year leading up to the BAM. Was my largest holding by some margin, 850k odd shares, but I wasn't going to watch profits go on me again. Anyone that has held early stage/explorer mining stocks, with the exception of just a few (AZS WA1 etc), has likely been hit pretty hard over the last 12 months. It has been a sector wide shift in sentiment.
I moved that cash in to particular larger cap mining companies, and for the first time ever I actually purchased stocks outside of mining - ABB JLG IPG DUR 360 etc and they have basically been my best performing stocks of late. Goes to show how boom and bust cycles work.

No retailer can control the market but you can control what stocks you buy and how you do it. It gets easier when you realise that.
