Internet forums and holding onto losers

[AMR]

Just a series of thoughts I've had.

If you have posted a bullish post on the forums and have gotten others onto the bandwagon, are you more likely to become attached to a particular stock and not recognise signs of an impending trend change/bad news?

I just went through some of the threads on SS and in particular some of those biofuel stocks.

I don't think it's a problem isolated to people on Internet forums. People in general fall head over heels in love with stocks all the time.

It's called emotions,and there is NO room for them in this game.

I think it depends on your personality AMR...some people can admit making a bad call, some can't.

It's a bit like the way some people can say 'sorry', and others can't.
