the fear mongers... the bashers... their objective is to get everyone to sell... most will immediately say ... "not me!" ... but ... these strategically planted doubt bombs will challenge you ... your doubts will GROW... Challenging your convictions and resolve (ask GW2 about selling early) ....  they know and understand that the planted doubts will cloud your mind and allow emotion to prematurely eject you from your holdings ... make a plan.. understand the important metrics and what drives those metrics and then measure the progress of each by the minute, by the hour, by the day, by the week, by the month, by the year...you will develop resolve and be able to hold to your convictions!
