The dip they anticipated doesn't come and the green line keeps going up. Well, then it gets so high that the client says, I can't get back in now. You don't buy at the top. Everybody knows that. So they're paralyzed and never get back in. These are the same people that got out at the bottom of 2008 and missed the huge run-up afterwards.
