Your welcome. The media and the Houses currently make investors in growth stocks feel like they are in a ship that is going to fall off of a flat earth. The last time I checked the earth was round. Growth tech companies are not going to disappear. Yes, valuations will be rocky and this is one of those times where such stocks are looked on with disapproval by the so-called "people in the know". Secondly, I see people who should not be trading getting or having a 100 % short term mind set. This is not bank cd land here in the market. With added risk comes an added chance of lose and reward. This seems like going on a long walking trip where one is walking on a path and coming to a three foot drainage ditch next to a road. We are so focused on today's ups and downs that we are not seeing what lies beyond the drainage ditch...i.e. the rest of our walk to a successful trip. The down part looks deeper than it is. Life and the market do not consist of straight lines up OR down. Life is full of curves and we need to not have unrealistic expectations. It is our preset "expectations" and lack of acceptance that get us into trouble. Sorry to go on and on. I must be talking to myself. Bob (and not the BOB SI guy)
