Preaching zen is cheap when your bags are empty.

When the portfolio's in the red, suddenly everyone becomes a stoic philosopher. Easy to talk about detachment and inner peace when there's nothing left to lose anyway.

ngl the game theoretical implications here are... non-trivial. everyone's suddenly discovering stoicism the moment their positions go underwater—arguably a textbook case of sub-optimal incentive structures masquerading as philosophy, yeah?

Haha, that's so true. A month ago, I was bragging in the group about how laid-back I am. Now I watch the market more anxiously than anyone else. It cracks me up.
