Hi Rob,
I know that you meant no harm, and neither did Barrel Haus, but while acknowledging that it was ultimately his decision, his post was clearly “Would you guys advise me what to do?”, and we don’t do that on this board. This board is for analyzing stocks.
We can’t tell him what to do. We aren’t financial advisors, we don’t know his age, what his finances are, what his income is, how much he’s investing, how many dependents he has, or anything else. We try to teach people to analyze well enough to decide for themselves. Each of us does it a little differently so the board is a wealth of information. There is a lot of advice in the Knowledgeable about price anchoring, by the way, which seemed to be bothering him. But we don’t answer appeals for “Please advise me what to do.”
By the way, a quick glance at the past 100 or 200 posts will alert you that there are probably zero “Please advise me what to do,” posts. This is a different kind of board.
Best,
Saul
