Jim, <I was branded a liar...>
The problem with this guys is fairly simple.
This is not an unknown behavior of people when
they tend to reflect their own mind-set onto
others. They think in the following way, e.g.:
"I've risked all my savings for prosperity of my
family by speculating with this stock, and I
righfully have to do anything in my power
to recover the failing investment
and protect my family, no matter what, stretching
available information beyond reasons, or presenting
opinions of others as facts. The market is
a faceless mess of fools, and they deserve to be parted
from their money, so there is nothing wrong with
my approach. The other guys, who block my efforts
to protect my family, are most likely in the same
situation as myself, just at the opposite side of
the market, therefore they are liars too."
Or something similar to that. In a situation like
that, no logic or interpretation of scarce information
will get through their disturbed minds.
So, nothing is new under the Sun.
