"This is one thing I can never understand. To refer to a personal taste of mine, I'm going to buy hamburgers the rest of my life. When hamburgers go down in price, we sing "Hallelujah Chorus" in the Buffett household. When hamburgers go up, we weep. For most people it's the same way with everything in life they will be buying - except stocks. When stocks go down and you can get more for your money, people don't like them anymore."
Warren Buffett
