I agree with all except your first paragraph, there is an inherent (some studies say innate) human trait that most traders/gamblers never learn to control, GREED. Needless to say there are only a very few who buy the top of a run as well as very few who buy the bottom. With the exception of the top 5% of buyers, 95% of the shares/shareholders WERE green and profitable but the greed takes control. The greed presents itself in two forms, one is the hype of $$$$$ which inhibits the trader from selling despite small to enormous profits; the second form of greed is psychologically more complex which inhibits the trader’s ability to quit/sell for a small loss which EVERY disciplined trader will do because 99.99% of the time he can buy back in cheaper if he desires so. Except for the 5% top end buyers, there is no one who can honestly say that they were not green or did not have a chance to sell at a profit. Herein lies another inherent human trait, BLAME,!!!

Then there’s the 5th group who knows Paul Riss, and how he has screwed over shareholders his entire life, that will never touch his POS stock again.

Sitting on 1s.

Getting emotional about trading nets you a bad time.

Are you expecting a run out of nowhere, something like spontaneous combustion, suddenly it just pops for no reason at all?
