SOME of it is good advice.

I, too, never invest more than a fraction of my account value in a single stock.

However the 10% stop loss thing is just plain being scared and you're potentially missing out on huge gains when you do that.

When I bought IBIO on 6/5/2020 I paid 1.55 a share.

On 6/8 it fell to 1.38, which would have triggered lew's 10% stop loss.

On 7/20 it hit 7.23 and I sold for YUGE profits.

It depends on the stock I suppose but 10% stop loss? GTFO

I stop loss after a profound run up and that's so I can buy back in after the inevitable pull back dips further than the stop loss. Ride the next run up. Rinse, repeat

But I barely know what I'm doing so YMMV

Totally disagree with the 10% stop loss advice.

As always, one has to diversify. Stop loss can make sense for more risky stocks but 10% is not enough.

I personally rarely use stop loss but for the most part I stay away from small cap stocks.

That's my opinion.

It about entering a trade with no more than 10% of your account, not about how much that stocks gains and results in it being more than 10% of your account value.

Real traders, in real markets aren’t messing with large percentages of their account value and shit penny stocks.

IBIO also went below $1 after its summer run up. Plenty of bag holders still in it.

It will bite you one day.

At some point you won’t be trading in a bullish market and buying back in on a dip could result in your capital being tied up in a losing position (no stop loss on entry) for a long time if it doesn’t pivot and reverse trend. That’s where reading charts and technical analysis can make it at least better than guessing.

Clay, can you provide any examples of stocks over $10?

How long did you stay in IQ, what was the loss?

Also you realize getting stopped out doesn’t mean you can’t re-enter later? You’re acting like these $1-2 stocks that went south after you bought them had 100% certainty to go back up. That’s not always the case. The chart could tell you later if it makes a strong pivot and should be bought back in.

Agreed on chart reading and finding bullish opportunities in a bear market

This year I've traded CCIV, VTIQ/NKLA, VIAC and SPY all well above $15.

Stop lecturing me.

If stocks you’re entering are falling significantly after your purchase, your technical entry sucks.

Also, just trying to provide useful capital risk management suggestions in a thread that feels like Reddit.

So after maxing out a 401K, IRA, HSA, and having a 6 month emergency fund, would the minimum goal of investing all other funds be to simply gain more than your mortgage interest rate?

Assuming you're free of all other debts
