ratan: <<and the professionals (those who manage other peoples money) who are disciplined (most of the time) buy during panics and make the money. >> Strongly disagree. The informed individual investor has many advantages the "professional" does not have, such a no need to meet quarterly targets or windowdressing, etc. or even a realized gain when an unrealized gain is preferable. And analysis of recent events would indicate that at least a major number of "professionals" have been the ones most subject to mood swings and herd behavior. The "public" has shown remarkable calm in contrast - rightly or wrongly. And it is particularly difficult (if not impossible) for many professionals to buy and hold over very long time frames. [Buffett the exception (if he qualifies as a professional, and while he is in many ways one of a kind, he would seem to fit that term, no?)] Yes it is hard for an individual to keep his/her head, but isn't that possible? Best. Cha2
