First, I’m not an asshole.

Second, are you suggesting that I should stay in the market regardless of conditions, for the “greater good” ?

Also, my measly retirement savings didn’t touch this market, the real players who put in the sell orders helped bring it down, along with the weak dollar, and the losses on the international scene.

Conversely, if more people would pull their shit when the market is beginning to get over-inflated (ala 14,200 in 2007), then the corrections wouldn’t be as severe.
