If you are a long term holder or contributor to the technology the whole speculator scene affects you little if at all, unless you choose to pay attention to it.
Very true, I only hold and don't day trade because holding has worked out great for me while short term trading (which I tried briefly) has only reduced my holdings but I do follow the current developments and charts and yesterdays proceedings did cause a little nervousness for me.
I have a friend, he only buys and holds and never looks at the charts. Every few month I call him and give him the good news.
