Hi Mark,

In essence, both A and B are in identical situations and should be following the same strategy (all things being equal). The only difference is from a psychological viewpoint (i.e. A lost $8,000 while B hasn't lost anything). But that psychological perspective really doesn't have anything to do with the reality of A and B's investments.

It seems to me that the difference between A and B is much more than psychological. When A gets back to $10,000, he / she wouldn't have made any money. At that point, B would have made more than 100% profit. To me, that's a real difference, not just a psychological one!

Interesting discussions...

Regards,
Jack
