Im a betting exchange trader in the UK. Exactly the same principle as stock/commodities. Id agree 100% with this guy that that the actions & thoughts of the majority in the situations he highlighted would be what occurs. However, Id disagree slightly with it being due to a Western Culture upbringing. My inkling is the reason is more “primeval.” A similar thought process happens with mice in a lab when testing their feeding habits.

Page 2. (ctd from page 1.) One finds himself going back to the middle of the traffic ladened roadway of speeding traffic to put himself in a more precarious position of locating the lost money and placing himself in further danger;this is akin to holding on to a dubious trade. What would the ones of whom are now owning the same stock at the price of 4 do? naturally they cannot budge; unless, they have the C sence and emotional savvy to accept that worse could occur, and to go back to the job.

Yeah, doubling down …
Yeah, doubling down is stupid, and a good way to admit being wrong. If you are doing this, the premise for entering at $5, should still be there at $4. If, not your trading on pure emotions.

One question. …
One question. Recently the Fed has pumped billions into the system for “liquidity”. Did the fed buy stocks, did the fed order brokerage houses to buy stocks for them, did they set up reserve accounts for the brokerages? What exactly did the Fed do when it added billions of dollars for liquidity?????????
