I am really pleased to read what you say, it makes for a much happier disposition if you're optimistic in your general outlook but realistic about the risk of whatever you buy. When one goes right it imakes you day... or week... or even month... and being generally positive you can be philosophical if one goes wrong.
Some of the gloom is understandable but a lot of it is every bit as speculative as a positive outlook, so why depress yourself! Neither view changes the outcome but being positive makes waiting far less stressful. Instead it can be intriguing and sometimes even exhilarating.
I bought Gulf Keystone. It went up 19 times on a massive spike and my best ever. That was exhilarating. Anyone who bought then lost heavily, your point exactly. Strategic Minerals and Metal Tiger were other big winners but I didn't always sell soon enough. My lesson, big riseses on very good news are almost always overdone spikes. Sell and if you want to stay invested by back whe it all calms down.
