The reason Chris is pretty straight forward. If you buy a stock you do so in the expectation it will rise.
If it does not, that means you may have made a mistake and therefore it is imo, more interesting to explore the reasons why an error was made rather that pat yourself on the back when it does exactly as you thought it would.
Todays fall is in the scheme of things miniscule and as i have already said i think it is just retracing from an over bought position which i hope to take advantage of.
If i do and then continues to go up what do you want me to do? Post that it is doing what we all expected? what does that add to the conversation?
I have said this before but making sure you preserve capital is the single most important aspect of investing. Stocks never go up in a straight line, we all know that, but trying to realise when its a proper fall as opposed to a bit of noise is for many, only apparent after the event.
When ever i am sitting on a loss I am acutely aware of the error I made by buying too early. Why didn't i wait? Was my decision making flawed? Did I stick to my plan? Are their lessons to be learned?
The arrogance displayed daily on this BB by posters thinking they have the first idea as to what is going on whether its the science or the funding or the cash burn, or the trial, is quite simply staggering and yet these same posters think I bask in self glorification!
I can't say why people don't believe and I don't care. What I find perfectly normal for the human condition is that many posters here believe others that post without knowledge, just because its what they want to hear. Hurstbot is a great example. Not only is it either completely made up or simply irrelevant, but every single SP prediction has been wrong, Everyone knows this , but still, they rec his posts as though he is giving some great insight.
Even MM, who has been shown to be duplicitous is still by some highly regarded. Why? because he posts what you want to hear. Same as Bella same as ICE, all trading away ie selling the stock why telling everyone else what a great stock it is.
There really is one born every day. Many here should think about that.
