unless maybe......it's their last quarter million....
The casino is open and you double down to make back the last bad trade, right? I guess that is where a solid personal constitution and grasp of the reality of "just what the F*** you are doing with all that money" comes into play. Discipline is a bitch and she ain't cheap in the pits.

It's a trader's market, and not one to be in without hedges if one leans strongly in one direction or the other.

We just don't know whether the $500,000 be they plunked down for AAPL shares today was chump change or a substantial portion of their net worth. I've run into many people who "invest" in just one or two stocks. Let's hope this wasn't one of them.
