"you think the money managers are idiots? you think they're easily scared into selling if they think this is all crap? you think you know more than those guys?"

Why not? They're only humans like the rest of us...they can be motivated by fear as well as reward. They are after all the only two real motivators.

Reward is a short term motivator...the affect wears off quickly and one wants more...give me more tomorrow.
Fear is a long term motivator...keep the threat of pain in the forefront and we humans do a lot of crazy things.
