lol jim. i wonder about this thinking. if for every buyer there's a seller, than the other party should win (by selling) based on you loss (for buying), which will make the theory that a stock will "fly after I sell" and "drop after I buy" true. could it be true that we just tend to remember only th bad things that happen to us? well, if it's true, than how come all you hear from people is that "i made this and that much" rather than "i lost my shirt while you made a bundle"? my thinking is that the people who make the most out of the market don't talk about it too much, which will make the sentence above (stock will fly/drop after I sell/buy") true just because that's what people who tend to say (out of those who'll say anything) say. or that most will talk about their gains but silent their loses. something to think about... happy holidays, marty
