  3. Smart guys think cutting losses is a sign of being dumb, but in the real market, we're all dumb!

    Dumb are those who don't cut losses - absolutely.

    Most not all. Don't include me ... and others.

    Stops, just like traffic stop lights, are there for a reason.

  5. California real estate has been a stupid good investment all these years. But I think we're nearing the top, because investors are buying properties now just to sit on them like raw land.

    Here's one.....

    Yeah, CA properties were a great investment from 2009 til 2021, when it topped. Now much less so. I'd wait at least through 2024 and a clean up before considering it again.

  8. I have so much practice protecting my money from my own lack trading ability that I see these simple signs after enough repetition.

    Take my advice, any other losing traders. If you just cut losses you can stay in the casino a lot longer....

    What happens if they cut losses at the bottom, and they turned into winners if they had not cut?

    Just a bit of bad luck, or was it prudent risk management?

    No that's just plain dumb also. Losses should be cut once they reach a pre-planned threshold, why by bother well after.

    Everyone has a profit target in mind putting on a trade, not many a loss "target" they can live with ... until they no longer have a choice in the matter.

    Choice is good.
