>And your metric for this is what? An even sounding number in base 10 after an arbitrarily chosen dip? Read Tao Te Ching(I liked Stephen Mitchel Translation, its only 80 pages, its the first book of Taoism, 2nd favorite book of all time). I'm a numbers guy, but I can't deny that you can 'feel'/'see' the Tao. When your redneck neighbor buys a gigantic boat and has a 7 year car loan, its something you notice. >So you would bet the drop in prices will be less than the 20% tax on the capital gains just before the drop in prices? This ignores risk too. >I do not understand. If it was too high risk, why did you do it? It was a good stock in general, I was 100% certain the market made a mistake on the news, $2000 dollars is nothing, if I lost it, my life wouldn't have changed at all.
