This is why I'm in it for the long haul. I had other investments in mutual funds, but since last October of 07, a lot of that dimished as well. I should have gotten out then, but my broker said "hang in there don't get out, what if it goes back up the next day 400 points". Well, I hung in there and watched my portfolio decrease. Well, I have since cashed out my losses and regouped. As for Sirius, I think a lot of people thought things would have been alot better then they have been, but unless you take your losses, I'm in it for the long.
