Post #13198 by Mark on the US Policy board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

I wonder if the previous rules of market behavior don't apply anymore? ("This time is different") I say that because so many people have been acclimated to "buy the dip" after every small drop, and many are still doing so (buying) after big drops like we've seen recently.

Of course we all know that it is NEVER different [this time]. The folks who work on Wall Street *love* those who buy the dips because that's how they unload stuff at higher prices before declines continue. It's only after "capitulation" that's it's all over and it becomes safe to buy (for those Wall Street folks) again.
