Stock Market Information
Once a stock begins dropping, the public starts to get nervous. As a correction unfolds, fear sets in and the retail investor selling intensifies. You can feel the angst of investors, with the amateurs usually the last to sell - often at, or close to, a low.
Once a stock has undergone a substantial decline, it’s very tough to overcome the "fear factor" - even by the professionals. Most of the players are bearish, and the media hates the stock. It’s mentally very tough to buy into this kind of weakness, but if the sentiment and technicals are set up right, buying a stock near its low point, is quite a thrill. And it can set you up to maximize your profits.
Being an optimist when everyone is selling or a pessimist when everyone is buying requires independent thinking and is one of the hardest things a trader can do, although history shows that opposing the crowd can be very profitable.
