THE IMPORTANCE OF SETTING A STOP LOSS ☝️💰😊8 Jan 2026 11:13
Most investors have no trouble deciding to buy stocks but do struggle with selling them, particularly if doing so means they are making a loss.
Because of this, many make far far bigger losses.
When a share drops by 20% from its high point, particularly if this type of fall is not reflected in the overall markets or in that share’s sector then getting out may still mean you exit with a profit, albeit not as big as it could have been. Or in cases where it’s only fallen since your purchase, it saves you making even bigger losses.
Had those who bought on the way up to 213p had done this, they would have exited at 170p with most bagging a healthy profit.
When at 46p I predicted 8p. Those who bought at that price should have exited after it had dropped 20% at 36.8p, rather than hang on to 4p, where selling now would mean a 91.3% drop.
On this basis Buzz, who bought another 200,000 at about 4.40 should sell them at 3.52p but he keeps trying to reduce his average by buying more and claims to have since bought another 500,000. He has of course bought at much higher levels therefore he must be down by tens of thousands. I’m hoping for his sake that he has been fabricating these alleged boys.
