Who needs constant belittling after the event - it's bit like buying a car and someone you know tells you what a dick-head you was for buying it every time you see them.

They're not objective. All they focus on is reasons to make you feel bad and remind you every opportunity they get what a fool you are - they get off on it

Probably jealousy. You got a car - they have to take the bus.

After all, it's not as if you can take it back cos they don't think it was a good idea.

Maybe if counseling is required, it's better to get it before making any decision. But, if a person needs that then they probably shouldn't be buying shares at all.

It seems all forums attract the trolls who roam around giving people the benefit of their uninvited wisdom - do they add anything useful.

Of course not - they're incapable of it and it isn't their motivation.

It's the attention and notoriety they're after.

It's all they have in their miserable lives.

The proof of this is that, if you ignore them, they'll just go away.
