That's an important rule even though it is grammatically impossible to "loose" money unless you are firing it like a torpedo at someone.

;<)

The plus side is that stocks that drop 50% do often rebound 100% or more when the storm is over; if you have the capital to buy them on the lows, there are quick gains to be made.

If I were bolder I would be doing that now but I am happier watching my cash pile grow while fear and panic are ruling the tape.

It's not a bad lesson, but it is horribly overused. Look at Jan-Feb 2009. How many people did not buy because they could have lost another 50% and then would need 100% gain just to get even? Yet, you could have bought then and made 300% or 500%. Or you could have waited... and waited... and bought when? ;)
