Be Strongly Defensive? Or Aggressive?

Writing for Seeking Alpha, Peter F. Way explains why newsletter spam is pitched so much more toward fear than greed: Fear is the better motivator. He points out:

“The pitch is, of course, that the vendor has a common-sense set of solutions that he will sell you for a pittance, but you better hurry up because he can only save 5,000 folks a month, and you sure don't want to be writhing outside when the "bunker" door of opportunity slams shut—until the next month's opportunity comes?.”

Peter’s conclusion is that diversification is good, extremism is bad. See:
