Sell and Winner AND a Loser

Rule: When selling a winner, look for a loser to unload at the same time. It will be easier to clean house this way as you sell a winner, and you will have even more cash to reinvest. And you don't end up with a kennel of dogs.

The textbook rule is 'sell your losers, and let your profits run.' However, this is very hard to do in practice, since most everyone you know will try and get you to do the opposite. Human nature, I guess.

One way to decrease your risk is to limit the amount of money you could possibly lose in any given venture. This is done in two ways:

1. Only commit a fixed percentage of your total funds to the purchase of any one issue.

2. Cut your losses if you have chosen badly, i.e. set a limit as to how far a stock can drop before you sell.
