I agree - getting shot is very personal!!

:-)

However if you had the chance and you thought you were going to be shot and you thought you had a chance to run away you would!

So if you feel that you are getting or about to be shafted then move on and 'run away' or reduce your exposure.

All I'm saying is it is about risk and reward. I understand that people are upset about an asset being sold for less than it is worth, by all means Vote NO - I will be!

My point is if you get too emotional in any investment (long term or short term) then you can find your investment decisions clouded by the emotion rather than the reality.

And as an investor (not a trader) I must say I am learning that it is just business - not personal! If I don't like the way things are going I reduce my holdings or move on.

Where I still like a stock I weigh up whether the risk outweighs the potential rewards and invest per my own view of the situation.

I have been in a position where emotion has clouded my judgement in the past to my expensive detriment!!! Hence why I am making the comments I am.
