re: Psychological

The market is ruled by investor Psychology more then ever before, it's being shaped real-time too, by the constant and increasingly prevalent access to what is happening, and the increasing awareness to the market by the general public in greater numbers. Meaning, we have a lot of non pro's with the buy/sell button under their control without the hand holding of a broker and the delayed action of having to wait to take action in order to make a more measured decision. It so cheap to get in the door now too. We have kids still in school (15 years olds no less), to grandmas sitting at kitchen tables thinking they know what is happening and how to play the game, but in reality few do. That's why we have the action we have and will continue to have. So, it's great for traders but bad for investors. I like this selling to tell you the truth. It's sobering, and teaching a generation of investors that buying the dip is not the right thing to do every time with every stock. Not to mention it was getting real hard finding a good stock to ride longer then week. <gg> Sickening how many failed rallies I have seen. Hopefully this selling will cause more research and more investing, I doubt it though.
