Stock market is a number game

Stock market is a number game.  When financial numbers are good then stock will go high. Everything else has short term impact only.

Every dog has it's own day

In the world of stocks, every dog has his or her own day provide he or she should be a good dog or going to be a good one in future.  You should have patience to wait until that day comes.

Past is past

Even world top companies Apple, Tesla, GM and Chrysler were about to bankrupt once upon a time.  So past is past.
