Whenever the price of a share goes down, the most common question asked around would be “what’s happening to this stock?”. I got asked this many times before, and most of the time, I do not know the answer. On occasions, I would be criticized for not knowing, with comments like “you are a shareholder, how would you not know?”, etc. I admit I do not monitor the market 24/7, and I am not on anyone’s alert list, so that’s that.

Curiosity is a human trait, and naturally we will want to know the answers if something happens. The main problem is, however, at that point of time, not many people know what is really going on. To find the answer, we would have to look for it (via Google or word-of-mouth), but this gets tricky when the happening is constantly evolving with old and new (and sometimes wrong) news
