He said: “As an investor, the pain of buying at 100 and watching something go to 10, is only trumped by the pain of actually selling something at 10 and watching it go to 100.” The post-earnings selloff this article discusses wasn’t anywhere near that extreme, but we do believe the worst is behind the company.
