I am not making money right now...

I'm not making money lately as the tsunami of declines has gone to extremes I just did not foresee. I wake up each day and think there is no way I can be surprised any more than I have been already...and everyday I am surprised again (these last few weeks in particular). Things seem so dire right now that it almost seems impossible to even consider that the market can ever muster a rally. What keeps us going? The opportunity to make an ungodly amount of money once this ends. We just need to get there with as many financial and emotional marbles as possible…even if it is less than we had Sept 1st (hand raised).
