I sometimes wonder why people mess around on the stock market. I think it is people who do not really know what they are doing, that cause the most problems. They seem to panic when the prices drop and then sell at a loss which is so silly. I know very little about stocks and shares and so I buy a spread of them and then I know that I am spreading the risk and if prices fall I just hold onto them until they go back up – they will always go up in the end and it is always worth the wait.
