When your 100,000 dollars went down to 10,000 dollars it's just meh. When your 10 million goes down to 1 million, that's... harder.
I know someone who won 200k and was back in a work a week or so later. Its not much in consideration of lifetime bills. Going down to 10k means you really dont have anything so your room to flip it back up is limited, you have to be paying those bills asap which means little time for anything exotic.
On the other hand going to 1 mill still leaves alot of options. Some might say this even is not alot in that lifetime perspective and sure maybe but it leaves enough leeway to swing your fortunes back up again. You can in theory trim down your costs and possibly get a plan together in whatever your expertise is and get back to the 10mil level perhaps. You got a shot and the space to do so.
10k on the other hand is going to require some magic and almost zero costs not to be burning it very quickly. Your back in rat race for sure, on the treadmill. Seems a bigger relative loss to me. Buffet said he can double the first million far more easily then he can progress that later 10 mil into double again or the larger sizes. After a certain point your footprint is too big I guess, I think a 1 mil float is the sweet spot maybe people at that level go up and back down alot.
Heres a short term test, the previous floor as a ceiling. There should be bigger levels then just this super focused view. People appear to think the price should go down but seems too simple to me, anytime people expect it or are consigned to that possibility the market usually defys expectations. Still looking for a bigger test upwards to try and fail first. Seems a bit drab and just too tired a move to go big.
Is the surprise to the upside and the china positive news more then just a rumour. Possible I just dont know the weight of probability
