If you are going to linger in the financial markets, you need to let go of that sentimentality re investments.



So it is OK to profit from ANY situation no matter how terrible? I find it difficult to believe that this is what you truly think; at least I hope not.

I really do not see how you can overlook the above and say people who made money shorting the market in 2002 made money out of other people's tragedies.

The volatility witnessed this year was greater than any time for at least 15 years, partly because of threats- both real and imagined. Rumors abounded(anthrax etc) on the trading floors; how many of these were specious and started by those wishing to gain by shorting is open for debate. What is not open is the fact that longs have absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose by spreading these sorts of rumors.

It is not my place to give you advice

And to make it clear, I was never giving advice, merely stating my heartfelt opinion.
