I bought uchumi shares two weeks ago at 8.50 and now they are at 7.55...since they are approaching my stop loss,am visitting my broker tomorrow to preserve my capital...and sell them at 7.60...in a seriously leaking boat,it is wiser to jump to another than to try and repair the leak.

Stop loss trading in a bear market is one of the dumbest things ive ever seen in my life!!

You are probably going to do the exact same thing with the next company you buy!

Why in the first place did you buy into that counter and at the particular price?.And what guarantee do you have that whichever other boat you jump into will not treat you the same way?.....and another stop loss,ending in more erosion of your capital.

Dont even think of selling. Just hold your balls...what you can do is average down instead of selling at a loss...

Stop loss saves money...i remember when kq was at 66 and then it started droppin...i cut my losses at 55...where is it today?at 20 do you expect it to tripple any time soon?i cut my loses with safcom at sh 4...its now around 3 and a 33 percent rise is unlikely in the foreseeable future.

I did a stop loss also and I have saved a lot I invested the money in treasury and Im making returns ...I would have needed a lot to average down so I opted for stop loss...

heheh...am not in the stock market to lose my hard earned money...am here to multiply it...cutting loses always keeps me in the game...accept small losses and admit you were wrong,then call it a bad day and move on...a wise person cuts losses short and lets profits run..a fool cuts profits and lets losses run.

check this out.. it all depends on what your intention is for capital long term or short term..

but IMHO the 300% potential upside return 5 years from now on most stocks on the NSE greatly outweighs the stress of stop losses and miniscule gains of 5% by buying and selling now.. Especially in a bear market..

At 66bob and 5bob KQ and Safcon had no long term value in them so what would possess me to have bought at that level?? now they do have good value at 19 and 2.8 respectively..

Now, smart traders speculate on fundamentals. When u were buying Uchumi, had u looked at its fundamentals based on their latest accounts i.e PE ratio, Div yeild and stuff like that? Had u run your eye on the charts fro trends? Now, that's what smart investors do.
And Yes, smart people only cut losses as a last resort and after carefully analysing the above!
Anything short of this is gambling!
I wonder how long you've been in the market!

Depends on whether you are in the nse to make money or avoid losses. Keep on selling and you will avoid big losses. Smart investors are buying now or just waiting for the market to recover.
