Investing isn't easy. It can get emotional. It can make you angry, nervous, scared, excited, and confused. Most of the time you make a decision under the fog of these emotions, you'll do something regrettable.

So talk to someone before making a big money move. A friend. An advisor. A fellow investor. Just discuss what you're doing with other people. "Everyone you meet has something to teach you," the saying goes. At worst, they give advice you don't agree with and can ignore. More often, they'll provide prospective and help shape your thinking.
