MYTH-9. EVERYONE SHOULD USE STOP-LOSSES FOR ALL THEIR INVESTMENTS

MYTH-9. EVERYONE SHOULD USE STOP-LOSSES FOR ALL THEIR INVESTMENTS

·         This is only partially true and applies to traders but not investors.

·         Investors are supposed to invest their money for the long term after doing adequate due diligence.

·         If one is not trained enough to carry out a proper check before investing, then it is better to seek professional advice.

·         Traders, on the other hand, live life on the edge and often earn by trading stocks by the minute, and some even in seconds.


·         So, stop-losses are for traders and not for long-term investors.
