If you're holding some of the Internet and high-tech stocks that crashed, that's what you're hoping for today. So you're trusting that your stocks will recover the price you originally paid. But many of them won't. The stock market bubble burst March 10. First, don't look back.
Yesterday is already ancient history.
What your stock is worth today bears no relation to what it was sold for on March 10. All that matters is its prospect, going forward. A company with no earnings, or low earnings relative to its stock price, has a poor chance of rising to its previous peak. I'm not saying it won't rise at all. Many investors have no idea if the company they own has earnings, who competes with it and what the industry outlook is.
