  Are you 'chasing' your losses?
  In an upcoming book on gambling that I am writing, I will show that people suffer from temporary gambling insanities even if they do not end up problem gamblers. Psychiatrists call it "chasing".
  
  Gamblers, when faced with losses, tend to "chase" after their losses hoping to win back the loss. This is a common human behaviour and a regular human trait.
  
  We cannot "blame" speculators for doing this as we would suffer the same tendency when faced with a similar situation.
  
  One cannot help but wonder if some of those in financial difficulties now will resort to less than legal means to obtain the funds. Or worry if the productivity of the companies of those in trouble will plunge. Or speculate if the $10 million allegedly taken by the lawyer from the client's account might have been linked to the market crash.
  
  The consequences are vast and deep. Now is the time to take action. If the Casino Act prevents loans and credits for gambling, similarly, no credit and unsecured loans must be allowed by members of the Singapore Exchange for trading in the financial markets.
