Art of Taking Losses and Diversification

This is a repost for those they missed it.

This post is about 2 major rules that I always follow and very much hope to convince others to follow as well.

1. If I am trading a stock based on a future event (earnings, lockup, fda approval, etc) and that event occurs and the stock trades against me afterwards, I WILL ALWAYS SELL AND TAKE MY LOSS IMMEDIATELY.
9 out of 10 times the stock will continue moving in the same direction for many days to come.
NEVER LET A SMALL OR REASONABLE LOSS BECOME A GIANT LOSS.
Very hard to overcome giant losses financially as well as mentally.

2. NEVER LET 1 OR 2 STOCKS DESTROY YOUR PORFOLIO. ALWAYS DIVERSIFY YOUR HOLDINGS.

IF ANY OF YOU DONT HAVE THE DISCIPLINE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES, I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE NOT TO FOLLOW ANY OF MY TRADES.


Good Luck
Michail
