How the hell can anyone sell off in the face of this decline ?

It is soooo hard psychologically and financially, to sell in the midst of this attrocity in the patch; I can't stomach these losses, even though it may be prudent to sell. I just can not see the bottom being much farther. With the real possibility of OPEC's meeting giving us a rebound - how the hell can someone sell now ?

FGII @ $28, EVI sub $40, FLC near $20 or less and on and on... too many of these quality companies are at or even below what even the most bearish had called as bottoms in a worst case scenario; because of this I can not sell - the shorts have overdone this correction and they can't be this stupid or greedy - this close to the OPEC meeting... how can they take the chance? When they cover and if we get some positive response from OPEC; I think we will rebound to ''liveable'' levels untill crude recovers... if not - I'm up shits creek !

I'm holding a little cash, which if I average down my cost basis gives me a ''liveable'' loss in which to ride the storm out with. However if we see another 10 - 15% from these levels - I'm locking up all the sharp objects in the house...
