Skepticism, having a healthy doubt as to the truth of something, is significant because it leads a person to check out the validity of what they read or are told. This is especially significant in science, but it is also valuable in other areas, such as when told something about another person that may or may not be true. In that case, you may not be able to check the validity, but you can reserve accepting it as true unless it is somehow shown to be true.

What are the reason of nokia share price goes down?
The answers are multiple reasons. One is that their sales projections are higher than the actual sales of their units. This was due to a very disappointing quarter in their Asia sales. Sales of Nokia phones in China and India fell below expectation of the company. While they have a reputation of having phones with excellent reception, they have been very adamant about keeping their operating system until recently when they announced that they would have phone operating Windows Mobile. This has led to skeptism of their CEO. Coupled this with the low sales, share prices are reacting as it would any other company.
