Can't Win Them All As they say, the market can be illogical longer than you can be liquid.
Most investors are only successful on about 35% of their trades. People that lose money trading have only small gains, but take much bigger losses.
I have learned that before you buy a stock, decide your exit point, both for a profit and a loss. It probably won't hurt to let a profit run for a while, but you will lose big time without the disciple to get out when when you should.
Take your loss before it gets to big, and move on. The market is full of opportunities.
Pumpers are usually people who have hung on too long.
