Couta , just trying to help here , I think I sent you a PM a while back re some good books to read - Market Wizards, and One up on Wall St ( Peter Lynch )
Somewhere in one of those is a good example of why a loss is a LOSS paper or whatever. It gives an example something like
Say you purchased 1000 XRO shares @ $ 39.00 , now trading @ $ 13.00 ish So $ 39,000 now worth $ 13000 as the trader did not have a S/l or a capital preservation plan in place .....
Obviously the shares have to Treble to get back to even .... The question I will ask how many shares do you own that have Trebled ?
It's hard to find one to double , so the bottom line is a loss is a loss even if it's on paper it is a real loss .
Treat every hard earned dollar as something precious , not " she'll be right mate "
