LOSSES

Little story here...

My 5000 went to UTI and TLK

which I used no stop loss on either

UTI
my last purchase was at 18
now, about a week later it is trading at 15.
It did gap down about a dollar the day after I bot it.
Did I take the 1 dollar loss?
Heck no, I thought...hoped it would bounce back.
Did it?
NO, it did not.
I held, and watched it fall another couple bucks.
Hindsight says shoulda sold and taken the $1 loss.
BIG ERROR

Did I learn?
Heck no, I let it happen again with TLK...same senario

The 5000 is tied up here. Dead money.

Another trade I have made recently is...
EGHT
bot for dead cat bounce
NO bounce
bot 8 1/8
sold 7 1/8

Did I learn?

YES YES YES
and I was happy to take the loss, I am finallylearning

What I am learning is....with no fun tickets (money) you cannot play the game, and that is definately NOT fun.

I tell you all this little story, so others may learn that such a silly little rule can make a BIG difference between being able to play and NOT being able to play.
