It never ceases to amaze me how when a stock is up 400% in a year, everyone desperately wants to buy it, and then, when it is on-sale 80%, no one wants to touch it. -- @Peter_Atwater on Twitter

The reason so many stocks -- belonging to both wonderful and not-so-wonderful companies -- have fallen sharply over the past year and remain down is explained by Mr. Atwater above. We enjoyed a bunch of years of stocks going up, up, and up -- reflecting a lot of people buying shares -- but now that many stocks have crashed, people are staying away.
