Stock market panic selling

The stock market moves up and down, and in the belief that they can somehow time the market, traders will jump in and out of shares. The truth is- many get it wrong, and experience an emotional roller coaster ride in the process. One characteristic that stoic investors have in common is their ability to have control of their emotions. If they did their homework and is invested in a great company, and the shares of this great company have fallen due to stock market panic selling, they'll simply add and accumulate more to their existing holdings rather than panic. History has shown that this is how successful investors have made their fortunes.
