KG4! Let me help you understand. I am not talking about any particular person.....but have you ever heard of a person being fully invested? Have you ever seen a man or woman that have a family and cannot afford to put another penny in the market????Others only allow a certain percent of their portfolio to be invested in one stock. There are many other reasons but enough already............. Good gosh! Is that real hard to understand that a person cannot continue to buy if they get their t___ caught in the wringer when the market goes down. Does this help you to understand why a person might not buy as the market goes down? I would not respond but you continue to say that you cannot understand why someone does not buy when the market goes down. Everyone on this board has different circumstances......... I am not speaking for jmac he has been on this board for a long time and probably has more money than most. I know what you are saying...fortunately I did buy as we were going down. However all cannnot not afford to I certainly understand. There have been many times when I have been taped out. Anyone has a right to be nervous about their losses. We all need to learn how to preserve our large gains. It takes a lotta time and a lotta losses to learn. Happy Trading, dealer
