Why do so many people buy an alt near the top of a pump and ride it all the way to the bottom? As a matter of fact, many of them consider it a badge of honor that they never sold (even though their investment is now worth 10% of what it once was). Any thoughts?

Maybe they freeze. When you have real money on the line it's different.  It's like gambling.  There's a theory that some people subconciously like to lose when gambling.  It makes it more exciting fir them.  That's why there's a whole industry built around that theory even if they weren't aware of it.
