Hi, mooers! Welcome back to MooHumor again!
The argument about whether investing should be an art or a science has lasted for quite a long time.
Someone says it's an art. Only the investor with a keen instinct for recognizing good companies can make the most returns.
Someone says it's a science. Analysis based on financial numbers and history is the only path to success.
So which one is more closer to the truth? There's no correct answer. But eventually, they are both aiming for the same purpose. It's all about making the right choices.
Now let's see how mooers use artistic or scientific ways to make better choices.
Pick your side first. You cannot be both.

Hi, mooers! Welcome back to MooHumor again! You guys must have been through a bumpy week. 
The market was going up and down without any clue, playing with investors' feelings like a playboy. Fortunately, mooers can always learn something from every trade. The lesson taught by the recent market is that: "don't believe everything you see." Especially those things that are too good to be true. 
Howard Marks's "second level thinking" may be an excellent principle to follow. Investors need to go beyond the obvious and avoid unintended consequences. 
As usual, vote first plz

“Stop-loss is used to protect yourself if your trade goes WRONG.”
Stop-loss allows you to exit at a “price” automatically, I presumed. By setting auto-sell off at your “loss threshold price”, a price that your heart can withstand. But through my experience, I ever encountered times when you set sell at $15.00 but when the auto-sell off triggered, the price plunge into $14.50. Then it recover again. And shot all the way back to $19-$20. I am not quoting any stock but these scenarios do exist and always happen.
That’s why it is called “Stop Loss”. But there are some stocks below our buying price that we decide to hold for a longer time still.
I always believe in dollar cost average (DCA) as I’m a long term investor. I tend to hold stocks for longer period of time so they weather the ups and downs. Stop loss is pretty much not really a big thing or strategy for DCA man like me.
Why don't you sell the losing trade?
Unless it goes bust, if you never sell, technically you are only in a paper loss postion. I usually will just keep if it turns against me as long as possible or rather forever.
When will you sell?
How do you decide when it is time to take a loss on a trade?
Never. Touchwood. I do have a fair bits of those, misjudge stocks that is still way below my buying prices. Fortunately, it is a small percentage of my portfolio.
But touchwood, I still kept them until now. If you don’t sell it, it will only remains as paper loss.
$DiDi Global (Delisted) (DIDI.US)$ is one of the classic stock in my portfolio that bought it at $15+ just look at how much is it now? Some-how, i didn’t adopt to any stop-loss strategy as well and i am still doing fine.
Weather it through.
Good luck.
