...But they stick with their shares even though its is going lower and lower. They prefer the losses at the psychological hit that they have lost.

If anyone knows a stock is going lower and lower, then investment success will never be a problem. Not selling a fallen stock is entirely rational IF its future price appreciation prospects are as good or better than whatever the alternative is, even if it is a mediocre business. The previous fall of the stock price is a sunk cost and fairly useless by itself as a guide to the future.
