4 Sep 15 7:02 AM · 12d ago · 4 comments · 1 source · development 4 of 5

“You actually want to follow the herd. Like when everybody is crashing but you didn't buy it, so you think you are in better position but, suddenly, the government decides to help the crashed companies and you cannot benefit from it.”
