Panic selling is a wide-scale selling of an investment which causes a sharp decline in prices. Specifically, an investor wants to get out of an investment with little regard of the price obtained. The selling activity is problematic because the investor is selling in reaction to emotion and fear, rather than evaluating the fundamentals.〔http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/panicselling.asp#axzz1tePLvyvM〕 Most major stock exchanges use trading curbs to throttle panic selling, providing a cooling period for people to digest information related to the selling and restore some degree of normalcy to the market. ==Causes of panic== The panic is typically the “fear that the market for a particular industry, or in general, will decline, causing additional losses.”〔http://www.investinganswers.com/financial-dictionary/stock-market/panic-selling-612〕 In event of panic selling, the market is flooded with securities, properties or commodities that are being sold at lower prices, in which further stumbles prices and induces more selling. Common causes of panic selling are: * High speculation in market (e.g. Dubai's Housing Crash in 2009〔) * Economic instability (e.g. The Financial Crisis in 2008) * Political issues 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「panic selling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
