10%-15% per investment is acceptable if you trade frequently..

My policy is to jump out if I make a loss of 10% without any hopes of a reversal soon. So, I also consider the reason for the drop. Sometimes I take in more than 10%.

Sometimes to the bin, its worth the lesson than the savings. I call them, border marks. Free alarm any day any time. You can't touch this, and you live happily thereafter. This is especially purposeful, a bit of the larger portfolio not everything. Its a mark that I need to retain, remember, and own up to. always slotted a value of 1/ in my assets portfolio.

Pole sana @obiero. Times themselves are equally confusing. But FYI, I only do tea. Building an empire of your own, may at times take you over to the realms of reality and especially now I am low on chums. Not everyday that we see a cloud with a silvery linning.
History is being rewritten and I gona dine with kings. Enjoy your Sunday.

Only invest what you can afford to loose. That effectively means 100% loss.

I stopped trading and my picks tend to be those with a solid earnings history and a dividend (given that these are lifetime investments it is worthwhile to get income all along before I bequeth the same to my kids).

I would say the only factor that can trigger me to make a sale is if there is a notable change in business thay may never be outdone and conqured with time. A bear loss doesn't count nor is it even worth my worry.
