Good luck, Dan. I've won and lost fortunes several times over the years. The important thing to remember when you're down is that you can get up and that you can start over again.
On those occasions when I have been knocked down for the count I've taken some comfort and inspiration from Theodore Roosevelt's description of "The Man in the Arena":
"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
~President Theodore Roosevelt

Even if you have to sell your R9, plan to get another when you're back on your feet. And keep coming around this campfire. We'll keep your seat open for you.
