Some people think the time to sell is when everyone else is selling.
That the time to get out of stocks is when stocks are being dumped, the market is falling, and execution prices are terrible. That the finest strategy for self- preservation is to make a mad rush for the door once the theater has caught fire. Such people are called Lemmings. These have been three weeks of steady or modestly rising prices for most of the major stock averages. For those individuals with millions of dollars in invested in stocks, or institutions with billions, the intervening time has provided a perfect environment for liquidation of stock assets, and conversion to other forms of wealth.
