I put my high school sweethart/Ex girlfriend in Qcom at 5 a share she and her husband did very well in the market. 5 Months ago I told her its going to get worse. They didnt listen. They are down 50%(thats including their Q which is up 800% even after fall). She asked me if she should sell. I said that she should not because the market is going DOWN but because it has the potential to still go down. In her position and her husband who's job is reliant on a strong economy(apparel manufacturer)she could not afford to gamble in the markets in such uncertain times. Its not I think we 100% crash for 3 years and have a 70's style Bear, but the possibility is enough to be cautious and prudent. She's 30, there will be other bull market's to invest in her lifetime. Now is not the time to try to be a HERO with ones nest egg.
