Another classic case is recent market behaviour. Gold is down about 8% this month while Oz gold stocks are down about 15%. Speculating on hope will never win out over trading without emotion. ------ That is good sound logic you use there Menta. Under those circumstances it can be hard to suppress the glee(emotion) at being able to buy back stocks that were sold when they were 15% higher knowing they would still be profitable if gold fell considerably further. Of course if gold did continue to fall(unthinkable for many)then concern(emotion) would likely ensue but hopefully not alarm(more extreme emotion). Personally I would probably not deal in stocks at all if I found it less challenging(unemotional). Where I live there is a steady stream of parachutists descending from above.I doubt they would do that without emotion but they must judge it as worth the cost. Satisfaction cannot be measured in dollars ,cents or even gold.
