the feeling one may have just as he or she hits the "post" button at UD talk or on the UD wall. just like closing the barn door after the horse has fled!

Postlewait Effect

Pronuciation: \'Póst-'til-'wāt\ - /əˈfekt/

Abbreviation: PE

The Postlewait Effect is an economic term for an unexplainable and dramatic shift from financial bliss to utter failure.

A phenomenon that has left multiple professionals flabbergasted at the unprecedented financial shift from growth to falling off of a cliff.

A major component of the Postlewait Effect is building up ones hope thinking that the decision/investment/choice is correct and a great move, before complete devastation.

The double Postlewait although very rare is when a decision/investment/choice is correct and a great move, before crashing but immediately rebounds to give one even greater hope than the first time to just collapse even more dramatically than the initial Postlewait Effect.
I was making a ton of money investing in a Mexican copper mine when all of a sudden the Postlewait Effect took place and the mine magically disappeared and I lost it all.
