I'll be honest, I can't believe how much better I feel after selling and closing out my account. I never realized how it became an obsession. I was constantly checking the market, stressing every day when I would lose money. Now I have so much more time because I am not constantly checking my phone. It would give you a burst of feeling good, then only to be depressed the next day because it went down. I wanted to try it in life to say I did it and understand how it all worked. I ended up losing, not horribly, but it was a lesson learned. I don't think the market is bad, but this is the wrong time to try to get into it. Will it every recover for people to make a profit again? Only time will tell. Just the wrong time for me.
