Expectations, Wants, and Needs, can control the decision making process. Group think, Opinions, and Emotion often does.
Success comes from experience. There is no black and white to making money at the stock market. What works to reaching personal goals of one, may not work for another's personal goals.
For years, I've been teaching and preaching a Rules based business process of working at the market. And stressing individuality to ones education. Because each person has different Expectations, Wants, and Needs from the experience.
Example: I said; I'd would probably hold my large paper loss error for a long time. And someone else said they set a limit to the loss they would except.
You posted you don't understand my thinking.
Maybe I don't need the cash as much as someone else does.
Maybe my Expectation is I will balance out better down the road and have no Need, to Want finality, at this point in time.
Maybe the other person needs to buy milk for their kids.
Maybe I could be saving the loss, if it still exists at the end of year, for tax benefits.
Maybe the other person Wants the cash to rebuild their cash trading balance.
The point: one should not judge another's claimed actions, based on their own point of venue.
And for your IHUB concerns; the problem can be corrected very easily. STOP reading individual stock message boards. I did Over 10 years ago. Only pop in now and then to see if the blatant bull chit has slowed any. It hasn't. LOL
Why should I, with my individual; Expectations Wants and Needs. Base any personal financial decisions on Group think, Opinions, and Emotions.
MESSAGE BOARDS are for entertainment only!
