Cut Your Losses
I've created the following for a When to Sell ("Why Sell") presentation. I keep trying to bring reality into facing losses and doing something about them other than using the four little words---It Will Come Back.
Take the loss, free up the capital, and buy a stock that is trending up!
| Drop this Percentage (example: $70 stock) |
This percentage to Come Back |
| 7% ($4.90 drop; stock price becomes $65.10) |
7.52% ($65.10 stock requires a $4.89 per share gain) |
| 10% ($7.00 drop; stock becomes price $63) |
11.1% ($63 stock requires a $6.99 per share gain) |
| 20% ($14.00 drop; stock becomes price $56) |
25% ($56 stock requires a $14 per share gain) |
| 50% (($35.00 drop; stock becomes price is $35) |
100% ($35 stock requires a $35 per share gain) |
| Losses tend to occur quickly and easily. |
Gains tend to occur slowly and with difficulty. |
