It is very tough to stay in market like this and not to loose belief in your own convictions. It does take either extraordinary character strength or some very unique knowledge of the market that other people do not have. (Would not it also help to have some extra cash. :) It is like in the sea during the real strong storm. Most of the people around has lost strength and either are praying to God or are just simply crying. Only the captain, is holding strong. Do not think he is blind and does not notice the huge waives throwing his ship like a toy. Or is not all wet and cold. He also is human and understands that he can easy loose his life in storm like this. He also understands that mistake he makes is much more costly because a lot of people will loose life. Still a good captain is the one that is not afraid to take a chance and tell exactly what should be done and what is that his teammates should do to win this fight. Even if it takes to raise the sails in the storm. It may look to his teammates that it is some kind of blind fate he has or even lost his mind(is not it ridiculouse? At the time of space shuttle? Flights to the Mars?) But it just looks like it. In reality most of it is the experience in the sea, some little detail about the storm that most of the people can not see, and very strong knowledge that most of the times the ones that do not fight but just give up are the ones that will die. Only the ones that keep fighting are the ones that have better chance to survive. Also it is a knowledge that the rain can not go forever. The sun eventually will come up and dry the clouds. Do not think, I am trying to say that I am the captain. I am very, very far away from it. I am so far away from it that sometimes I even quit reading in the middle of the article when it starts going in real technical details of some of SDRAM or storage or whatever technology. I also really do not know the insides of the market enough to offer advice and tell that it is Monday or Friday when the market will turn around. But what I do know and am pretty sure about is that at the end sun always come out and dries the clouds. It can not be pouring forever. Otherwise there will be so much water that it will rush my house and neighbours houses into the sea. No matter how far away from the sea we live. Or how high above sea we live. I am not saying "Wait, the miracle will happen and save everybody". I am saying you have to have a fate. You also have to give some fight and do whatever it takes to win. If it takes to bring the sails down, you bring them down. If you have to bring sails up during the storm, you have to do exactly that. So, the only thing I can offer is that out of my window I see the sunrise now and I also see sun melting huge black clouds. In the beginning the heavy dark clouds aquire white edging. This white edging brake away from the mother cloud and becomes smaller but now they are almost white. Definitely not dark. They run away from the mother and become like small white sheep. The run further and further away. They run faster and faster. And become smaller and smaller. They dissapear into huge blue void. And now the ugly huge black cloud is not that that scary anymore. Now it is much much smaller and you can see sun penetrating it not just on the edges but also in the middle. Gregory :)
