If you use stop losses then you are essentially gambling

I would think that using no stops is more akin to gambling.

 

Uber and doordash?

 

Well first of all I'm not betting the farm on a single stock for all the reasons you mentioned...another problem is the reverse split taking away all the shares you accumulated at the bottom.

 

Which I do with stops. When I'm in cash after taking a small loss I have no risk.

 

Really you have no risk holding cash? What if the price resumes after stopping you out early and you leave a 10 bagger on the table? You have essentially realized a loss of 10x

 

Taking a small loss solves all those problems.

You never did say where you were getting the money to average down.

 

You think I'll ever get a straight answer.

 

Well you leg in...you don't go balls to the wall unless you are pretty sure the bottom is in.
