Buying The Low
Human nature is a powerful force, but it deludes us to believe our gut instincts. When the price of an asset falls to a level where an investor or trader believes is a logical, reasonable, and rational low, they perceive the price as a bargain.

The quest to buy the low in any market has everything to do with ego and little to do with making a profit.
