When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart it ends up being destructive. I never want to be in that place again.
The time to buy stocks is consistently over time. You should never buy your investments with the idea, 'I have to get a certain return. ' You should look at the best return possible and learn to live with that. But you should not try to make your investments earn what you feel you need. It doesn't work that way. The stock doesn't know you own it.
