STOP LOSS- I dont use it




WEALTHSTEADING Podcast investing retirement money stock market & wealth show

Summary: Episode 227:  I don’t use a stop loss as a risk mitigation strategy because I believe it’s a false sense of security.  I’ve covered this a number of times, but people keep asking, so I’ll review my thoughts on the subject.  As with everything discussed in my podcast series, I just share my opinions and positions…what works or doesn’t work for me.  You need to think and act for yourself.<br> <br> My biggest objection to using a stop loss is getting caught in a flash crash.  This is what occurred on August 24, 2015:  <a href="http://www.investablewealth.com/flash-crash-hazard-of-stop-loss-orders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.investablewealth.com/flash-crash-hazard-of-stop-loss-orders/</a><br> <br> Yesterday I bought positions in GS &amp; JPM, which are my two favorite DOW stocks that I think will benefit most from short/near term trends in automation, robotics &amp; artificial intelligence:  <a href="http://www.investablewealth.com/bought-the-banksters-gs-jpm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.investablewealth.com/bought-the-banksters-gs-jpm/</a><br> <br> Forbes reference to my book:  <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/nextavenue/2017/05/15/why-robots-wont-be-coming-for-all-our-jobs/#711d0aa7287b" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.forbes.com/sites/nextavenue/2017/05/15/why-robots-wont-be-coming-for-all-our-jobs/#711d0aa7287b</a><br> <br> --------------------------------------------------------------<br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Robots-are-Coming-Profiting-Automation/dp/1612436692">The Robots are Coming: A Human's Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation </a> available at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Robots-are-Coming-Profiting-Automation/dp/1612436692">AMAZON</a> and all fine bookstores.<br> <br> --------------------------------------------------------------<br> <br> 10 Wealth Building Principles:  <a href="https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/">https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/</a><br> <br> Full archives are available at:  <a href="https://www.wealthsteading.com">https://www.wealthsteading.com</a><br> <br> -------------------------------------------------------------<br> <br> Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast:<br> <br> via iTunes:  <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058">https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058</a><br> <br> Hosted by John Pugliano.
