the stock market is dropping today. I think I'm gonna sell everything. Are you dumb? Why would you sell everything now? You were buying stocks when it was at an all-time high, and now that the markets dropped a little bit you want to sell now? You didn't sell when it was at an all-time high, you bought more. So why would you not buy more when the market is down? Stop being emotional and grow up.
