I do dabble on the stock market, very small, buy low, sell high, there's some free advice :p However the difference is that here we have a case of Linden Lab devaluing your holdings, it doesn't matter if you're selling or not, your assets are devalued.

The question is whether those assets will ever rise again and that seems highly unlikely, prices are only likely to continue downwards. Now I'm sure most estate owners realised that their island will devalue over time, but to devalue them by this amount, that's irresponsible. However it's not only estate owners who have this issue, more pressing will be for those who own estate land, there's more movement in land sales than actual estate sales and those prices are also down.

Linden Lab shouldn't encourage an economy and then stomp on it so hard. They should have been more creative with these price cuts, offering deals to existing estate owners, dropping the price for new estate owners slightly, offering extended free tier on new purchases etc.
