Good post thanks for sharing. I'm in a similar position holding about 300 EOS so hardly more than a minnow.
I took a punt during the distribution 2 days ago thinking I would send the ETH from some EOS sells to the distro and up my holding. I barely broke even thanks to the distro going HUGE but felt like it was worth a shot. I may try this technique again before the ICO is over, it has worked in the past allowing me to gain another 10 EOS on top of my base holding.
i wish i hadn't taken two risks with EOS before it pumped, I thought it would take longer because I thought the hype would come right before the ICO finished. i'm still waiting for my NEO to pump which I see as long overdo, I'd love to buy back that EOS!
