A similar experience here... owned 30 LTC at $3 and sold it sometime last year for a small profit to buy other coins. It was hard to buy into Charlie's argument for LTC at the time... it will do the smaller transactions that BTC doesn't. Not exciting but he was right. I've been buying back in, at higher prices of course, but now have a position larger than my original. Beware of the anchoring bias -- getting stuck on previous prices.
