Losses
Everybody sets out to make big money, but sometimes it does not work out. Sometimes a small loss, becomes a bigger loss and until it possible becomes an unmanageable extremely painful loss.

Investing will not be a straight line up, there will be painful moments and it very easy to make a mistake that will end up in big pain.

If this loss is a dumb loss that happened because of an error the best thing is just to get out of it, and do it as quickly as possible.

Getting over the setback
If the loss is big and that you are not likely to recover from it in any near time, the best thing is just to try to put it behind you. Start from scratch and get on with your life.

It will be difficult enough to try to deal with this emotionally, but agonizing about it over a long period of time will not get you back where you were. It will be wise to try to forgive yourself about this as soon as possible and come to terms with yourself. Focus on the future than rather than mistakes made in the past.

Look at it as an expensively learned lesson and try very hard to never repeat the same mistake.
