So, you bought EGO high in her "cycle", and your "trade" has now become an "investment".
Big deal... get over it.

The only consolation that I can lend... (not attempting to be patronizing, whether you believe me or not)... is that after bottoming in her current "cycle", EGO has always gone on to higher highs.

Although, please brace yourself for more potential downside before she starts to reverse.
EGO has strong historical precedent to:
1)"cycle" below her 50DMA (3mos chart) and find the bottom of overall up-channel prior to marching-on;
2) be pulled down with overall global gravitational forces; and,
3) despite favorable ambient market/econ activity (gold spot included) still behave within her own technical "swing" dynamic.

Again, EGO not doing anything different it hasn’t already done many times in the past.
So... chin-up... she will scrape a higher low (3yr up-channel) and then march-on to that higher high.

Now is the time to buy, not cry...
Any look at her 3yr+ chart can confirm that EGO puts the "gurrr..." in swinger, Baby !

Happy trading,
AC
