Protect your investment (cont'd) If the sp happened to move down in frustrating time a basher would break out into a happy dance and shout from the rooftops for everybody to hear “See I told you so, this stock is bad”. No genuine shareholder would behave that way. The sp of a good stock will sooner or later reflect its strong fundamentals but bashers will play on your lack of patience to wait for your gain. Bashers lie or make half-truths vague statements and rely on you being too tired to do your own due diligence or too worried to wait for good news. Don’t play into the basher hands especially when you are extremely frustrated with the sp.
