IMO smart at engineering (and other technical occupations) is a hindrance to becoming smart about the markets.

"How hard can it be, it's all just about math right? Got this." Uh no.

Smart guys think cutting losses is a sign of being dumb, but in the real market, we're all dumb!
 
With 8% inflation, you're still down some. Finding anything to beat it is hard.

California real estate has been a stupid good investment all these years. But I think we're nearing the top, because investors are buying properties now just to sit on them like raw land.

Yeah, CA properties were a great investment from 2009 til 2021, when it topped. Now much less so. I'd wait at least through 2024 and a clean up before considering it again.
 
Friends, do not let the hype behind your stocks distract you from doing your job.

The bear market has been brutal, but it was possible to see it coming.

Look at how the 50 weekly bar sma would have protected you from these disasters:

ARE you saying that 50 week moving average is right+ some times patterns may repeat in the future??
I agree.
Some OCTobers are bear killers\ but good points on 50 wma:D:D
 
I have so much practice protecting my money from my own lack trading ability that I see these simple signs after enough repetition.

Take my advice, any other losing traders. If you just cut losses you can stay in the casino a lot longer....
 
What happens if they cut losses at the bottom, and they turned into winners if they had not cut?

Just a bit of bad luck, or was it prudent risk management?
No that's just plain dumb also. Losses should be cut once they reach a pre-planned threshold, why by bother well after.

Everyone has a profit target in mind putting on a trade, not many a loss "target" they can live with ... until they no longer have a choice in the matter.

Choice is good.
