Dude, calm yourself down. This sort of emotional, knee jerk reaction is exactly what will get you in trouble in the crazy world of the market. Do you think that all of the companies that I have bought in to have performed how I would have wanted? Of course not. I have sold out of a company that I wasn't happy with, at a big loss. Later, I found one that I liked, thought that the price was right, and hey presto, made up the difference, and saved myself from worring about the first one.

At the moment I have a short trade that is working against me in a rising market, but the trick is to either stick with the plan (if fundamentals haven't changed), or cut your losses and move on.
