Rightly said !!! why news paper reports like this when ever there is a fall, i never understood ..
actually everybody likes investors , buy and hold types , govt also incourages long term investors , as no tax in profits over 1 year holdings.
so when a market falls , its investors who faces losses or reduction in their equity value so people feel bad about it. even govt also worries about market fall and regulators ban short selling sometimes. see china govt actions etc. so everybody likes market to go up. it attracts retail participants also.
speculators, traders , who cares about them , they are labelled gamblers
