Panic to me happens when you get caught off guard. You made it very clear in the beginning not to invest in things you don't understand or can't see changes in. No gambling! Its weird to look at down times as buying opportunities. I actually get more excited about the down days then the up days.

Call it dumb luck or maybe I was just listening but I was looking at doing new construction of a commercial building. Lots of people I was talking to kept saying that steel prices were going up. I bought 40 shares of (X) 6/27/16 for 15 bucks and now its nearing 30. Not to mention a very talked about sector since the election, I'm actually up 90%. I never thought it was possible. All my childhood all I ever heard was I wish I would have invested in that when it started or something along those lines from family.

Now how do you decide when to sell? I haven't wrapped my head around that part yet.
