Stock markets

The stock market has it's ups and downs. Take a look at the stock below. It's obvious that it's not doing so well. Would you invest in it? Probably not, the way it's headed. It started out good, had a couple nice days, but it mostly sucks.

Take this example and think about your training. Some days you come to the gym, and everything feels fast and light. Other days, you have trouble with the warm-up. What do you do on the 'down' days?
