YOu need to see a few directors or executives selling lots of stock to raise a red flag. You need to hear Bob Gabelle say on CNBC that insiders are selling and this is strange. If investors get spooked with isolated share selling with no pattern, or pattern selling that's normal and regular (as parameters go...), then they should examine their own investment strategy with the stock. In answer to your question.....I don't think that many. I see an alert and then dig for answers real quick. It's an activation to action/investigation, but so are a million others things I see during the day as opportunities to buy and sell. If your reaction is to indescriminately sell....well that happens too, and you soon learn if that was a good or bad thing..... Has anyone ever figured the percentage of winning emotional decisions for themselves? I figure that for me, making an emotional decision has lost me more money or OPPORTUNITY than researching it and then deciding with good facts. Regards, Steve
