Phil have seen it countless times, traders deal with problems in many different ways.
A small minority deal with stress by denying reality, attacking alternative views, and engaging in position talk to justify their exposure - and how the news is really great, it is just the market that is wrong. Eventually this method of decision making gets very costly, as averaging down and not taking losses is a certral part of the plan.
I say this as someone that has made all of the above mistakes in the past, have seen far better shares than ANGS go to zero while I held on all the way down. Honesty, flexibility, and logic are not easy in trading, but are attributes that must be learned.
Anyone running a position long position in ANGS has been crucified the last three months. Our most abusive poster is allegedly in for £80k, half his trading pot in ANGS!!!, and would have dropped £5k on yesterday's 6% decline in share price. Anyone investing here would do well to understand why some on here attack any view that is at all critical of the company. Just form your own opinion, and listen to all views and above all have some sort of risk/reward method to prevent you from sitting on big losses, but instead has you being patient with big winners. Good luck to all participants.
