In particular, be careful the emotion that you feel "I want to recover the losses." The environment is not necessarily good condition. You sometimes lose money. When you lost money, just honestly reflect. Alternatively, you may need to think it was unlucky and forget it.

It is no favorable for company that the management is too obstinate. It is not good if managements just do what they want to do and throw away anything what they don't want to do. Since management's obstinacy is in the way, the company will miss big chances.
Both emotions and obstinacy are necessary as the qualities of management. Some people achieve big success by acting emotionally. Some make significant results by continuing one thing thoroughly in obstinacy.
Managements who fail become emotional in wrong situation, or become obstinate unnecessary. They fail by being ruled by their own emotions and obstinacy.
Do not be ruled by your own emotions and obstinacy. But control both of them well.
