caulfield12 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Learning how not to panic when markets are down 20-40% is definitely an acquired skilled borne of experience. Not easy for young investors to do the opposite of everyone else...especially when paper losses from a psychological standpoint feel so much more demoralizing trying to get to your first $50k $100k $500k saved/invested.

That's quite literally the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many middle class workers with 401(k)s have learned to stay the course and keep plugging away even during times when the market looks like it's in freefall. Not everyone does this and I realize that not everyone can afford to dump money into a 401k, but it's not just big investors and billionaires who do this.

77 Hitmen Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) As far as rooting against the Sox goes, the way I see it is what's the point? They aren't getting any better than the #10 pick, so it's not like I'd be rooting for a higher pick. Root for them to lose so badly that it forces changes in management and forces Jerry to rethink how he's running the team? Ha! This is Jerry Reinsdorf we're talking about, he's not capable at looking to himself to blame and even if he fires people, he'll just replace them with some other Yes Man who is equally incompetent. We'll just get people who are just as unqualified as Getz, Grifol, etc. I just hope this franchise survives the mass erosion to its fan base that is taking place under this clown show and will continue to take place with Jerry in charge. Maybe, just maybe, the Sox can experience a revitalization under new ownership some day. Hopefully there will be enough fans left to care at that point.
