E'Lane, when a stock is going up it is easy to be happy, to get emotional, to support each other, to talk about the future, and so forth. When the bottom falls out, it is not so easy to stay focused, to think clearly, and to offer support to fellow investors. This is when we not only have to think about our fundamental reasons for investing, but to keep in mind our priorities. There are many things in life more important than what the stock market does, and what it does today is not totally relevant to what it will do next week, next month, or 2-3 years from now. This is when true longs get separated from pseudo-longs.
And I repeat, as far as I know Digitcom has not lost any contracts, has not changed its business plan, Jimmy is still alive and well, VoIP is still a much cheaper way of making phone calls, people still want to communicate, and the sun will still come up tomorrow on schedule. Oh, and I am still racing tomorrow night and planning on getting bragging rights at the bar. |
