"I didn't really pay attention to the second chart." No you didn't
"From my point of view the switcheroo was deceitful and you can acknowledge that."" Are you serious? No switch. I asked you to "look again", at the second chart...produced it again, for your own omission, first time round, I had to repeat myself.
"If you were trying to ramp the price down I was applauding as I have placed buys at 44c 42c and 29c."
"purpose of joining the fray at this juncture of time "??
I did not just join today.
I was not ramping up or down. I made extensive Posts here, with basic Trading and Investing practices
Post
18649446 on 24/8 (applauded), and a couple of other Posts, which people could follow, or ignore as they saw fit.
I have no position in this stock, or company. I have no emotional or vested interest. I just follow the world of business and finance and markets (globally), including this well known company.
Which gives me a clearer perspective than those who are heavily invested, monetarily, and by implication, emotionally, leading the the well know attitude of "confirmation bias".
"hapless LT holders"
They'd be less hapless (and probably lose less money) if they admitted their error, took the loss, and moved on. We've all had to do it....many times. You can't always be right, else we'd all be rich. There have to be losers / losses.
It's the fear of losing money that leads to ruin, a fear shown to be even greater than the pleasure derived from making it.
Behavioral finance is very clear about this.
