You have a $100K portfolio... it is now worth $70K... You wait 10 years... the exact same stock without adding any new additions is worth $150K...

Basically you don't sell stock when it takes a dive.. .you buy a ton of it...

The additional $20K you bought when it was low is worth $45K in that ten years.. you get the idea.. I hope.
