"I don’t get it.
Why is everyone willing to stay with this stock until it goes to zero and lose everything? It’s just stock. It’s not your spouse. You’re not married to it.
You’ve talked about this thing like it’s a living, breathing person. Like it’s a child on life support, and you just can’t bear to pull the plug. It’s just stock. It’s inanimate.
You’ll say that you’ve invested a lot of time and money. Fine. I’ve had cars that I’ve invested a lot of time and money into. When they start performing badly and aren’t worth the investment, I get rid of them and find a different car.
There’s a great line from the movie Wall Street where one of the characters says “…don’t get emotional about stock.”
I just don’t understand everyone’s unwavering commitment to something that is just basically an electronic transaction."
I posted this two years ago.
At that time, Exobox was selling for a dime. Now it's at a penny.
I came to this board today expecting everyone to be out for blood. Instead, I read that people are stilling buying shares because now it's such a bargain.
I still don't get it.
