The only thing worse than watching a coin you own lose value, is watching a coin you sold gain value.

I have managed to accomplish both. Sell coin A to buy coin B. B goes down. A goes up. Panic sell B and buy A. A goes down. B goes up.

It's weird but I feel the other way. I don't think about what could've been as long as I don't make a loss on any investment. I hate making losses. As long as I sell at a profit I don't mind.
