This round of fall has left many people stunned, and the group has quieted down a lot. Really, the most terrifying thing about a Bear Market is not losing money, but having your confidence completely shattered.

Look at those most active guys usually, now they are basically all underwater. Either their positions have blown up and they are too embarrassed to speak, or they are reflecting on their own trading logic. This collective silence is actually quite normal: the market has given too many people a loud slap in the face.

However, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. Real players will learn and adjust in silence, while those speculators who only shout out trades will naturally be eliminated. What the group needs is rational discussion, not emotional outbursts.

When the next market cycle begins, you will find that those who remain are the truly valuable voices.
