Not so sure about that. There's the element of FOMO. Remember when the Hunt Brothers cornered the silver market? Silver hit $50 an ounce. Had my dad sold then, he could have reinvested and only had to buy 25% of his hoard back and maintained status quo. Looking at it another way, could have sold and increased his asset base by 400% after selling and waiting for the floor to fall out before going all in again.
