I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Portfolio Management - Stop Losses? (2)

Read? Portfolio Management - Stop Losses?

Stop losses: Do or Do not. Don't doubt! - Createwealth8888

If you strongly believe in your technical analysis skills and also trust your favourite technical indicators then you should act on good faith, take that stop loss; go home and sleep.

If you are like me don't believe in stop loss, then how do you control the damages to your capital?

Instead of using STOP LOSS to manage risks, I manage risks from different perspectives. I have trained myself very hard to look at Portfolio and not at stocks so a few falling stocks may not impose a big risk to me and don't bother me too. When it becomes necessary; I will write off losing stocks as zero value and take that losses in the Realized P/L. There is no point looking at them as it does nothing to improve your investing skills. Just move on!

If magically the dead stocks somehow resurrect; then I will sell them and write back as profits.

Portfolio = Investing Capital + Realized P/L + Unrealized P/L 
               =  Current stocks + Cash available for investing


There are few important things to note:


1. I don't use any Leverages

2. I am using cash that are not needed for next 5-7 years.

3. I have enough emergency fund.

4. I will only hold on to falling blue chips that Temasek or White Knights are likely to come to rescue

  1. Hi CW8888,
    Well put.
    No use crying over spilled milk.
    Anyway, we should be prepared for some spilled milk.
    I believe even WB have some spilled milk.
