Okay, some background, my girlfriend and I are talking about stocks because it's the hot trendy thing where I am. So she mentions how she has a few crappy overvalued stocks and she is waiting for them to go back to her purchase price before selling.

I ask her, "But if they are crappy and overvalued, why not sell them now when the market is hot?"

She says, "But then I would take a loss!"

I say, "But what does that matter? If you think they are worth $20 and the market is offering to buy them from you at $40, why wouldn't you?"

She looks at me like I am an alien and says that I don't know how to buy stocks.

So the [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] is with me. Then I ask her about the scenario above with some guy offering to buy at $40 when the market is trading at $20. She says she still wouldn't sell because it would be taking a loss, she'd wait until it got back to $100.

So I say, "WTF? That's stupid, no one would do that!"

So she says, "O RLY? Everyone would do that!"

I say, "Let's put it to a vote then!"

She says, "Sure!"

Now she angleshoots me by saying OOT isn't representative, what's my next move OOT
