Stop Fight a Losing Battle

The stock market is a brutal beast of lessons that will be forcibly learned. These lessons can defy what kind of investor you may become and how successful you may end up in the long term. One of the most important lessons that has to be learned is to sell when a stock has become a losing battle that may never be a success story.

Failure is never easy. Admitting that a stock that you invested in is a losing stock is never easy. Whether it be mental or psychological, many investors fall into the trap of buy and hold forever regardless of the losses that may occur. Stock dropped 50%? Sounds like a good hold strategy. It’ll come back someday - won’t it? Possibly.
