Stocks

Oi! So, since I've invested $400 into my Ameritrade.com account, I've lost $52.19 mostly because of investing in Whole Foods (WFMI) too early. They hit a record low of 9.91 earlier in the week that I bought some stock in it, so I felt it would do nothing but go up. Nope. Today it closed at a new low of 8.78! I bought it at 10.65! That's about a 17.5% loss! It's upsetting of course, but what I hate most is that I could have waited and bought it at this 8.78 price. I guess it could still go down, and who am I to say that it won't but hey, at least I wouldn't be losing as much money. Luckily, I invested a little in Ford (F) which has only lost me 4.6%. The stocks will go up, this is a time of crisis. I don't care about them hurrying about going up in price, I just down want them to sink much lower so all this "coulda woulda shoulda" would stop!
