Buy the winners and sell the losers strategy: bone or bane？
171K Views ·32 Posts
Based on historical data, buying stocks on the basis of a low price or selling stocks on the basis of a high price has seldom been a consistently successful strategy, but it has been a common mistake for investors who utilize such strategy. In that case, do you think it is a better strategy to focus on the winners and shun the losers？

Both ways wouldn't work IMO. This is more like a betting than investing to me. It depends on your luck without any analysis to support your decision making. Your head is influenced by greed and emotions. Do not go for shortcut and work hard for genuine returns, try not to be play gimmicky or be opportunistic.

Buy the winner sell the loser: bone or bane?
As a new investor, this is a common mistake to buy a winning stock and sell a losing one often resulted in buying high and selling low. It is misguided by greed and fear (emotional trading). 
We should DYODD before investing in a stock - buy the stock because of the company fundamental and not just based on the share price. Hence I always remind myself to follow some investment rules:

The ideal is to sell the losers and let the winners ride. Of course, it’s quite tough to know which suffering stocks will turn around and which won’t. From analysis, the investors tend to sell winners early and hold losers longer. This demonstrates that investors prefer to sell winning positions before selling losing positions. We typically only sell a winning position if the stock price has risen to our set target, or other factors like meeting the risk tolerance, investment objective and...

Sell the Losers, Buy the Winners!
Welcome back Mooers, 
In today discussion, we will talk about the factors that may have caused the US stock market correction and what we can do to reduce losses.
Last week (17 Jan 2022 to 22 Jan 2022) saw major indexes falling sharply and breaking several key support levels. Many Mooers may have sold their position to avoid greater losses.
However, it is noted that none of the factors (inflation, omicron variant, interest rate hikes, etc) had really hit ...

Most investors believe it is a dead cat bounce
The S&P 500 has rallied 17% from its low and the usual question arose - is this a dead cat bounce?
This is a time where many investors will look for statistics in market history in order to get some guidance.
Some may look at the state of the economy.
No matter which methods were used, the polls which I have put out in the past two weeks showed that more than 70% of the voters were bearish and believe this is a bear market rally or a.k.a. a dead c...

People who aren't DCAing into the market right now, what exactly are you waiting for?
I just don't understand the logic behind holding a ton of cash on the sidelines waiting for some special signal that we've hit the bottom. If anything I think the last few months have shown us that the market is anticipatory towards future events, and if you wait until you're sure X/Y/Z event is happening you've probably already missed out.

Should You Buy Stocks with Good or Bad Relative Strength?
I am wondering if it makes sense to buy stocks that are showing good relative strength, such as $Netflix(NFLX.US$ , $Amazon(AMZN.US$ , $Uber Technologies(UBER.US$ , Meli or ones that are making new 52 week lows and seem more oversold, such as $Meta Platforms(META.US$ , $Intel(INTC.US$ , WBD, and some others

What would the play be if someone wanted to buy stocks about primary materials, for instance battery or metals i.e. shovels not gold?
I can't answer this, but I would ask you why you'd want to? Battery and metal companies have lower margins, are more commoditized, and there's tens if not hundreds of companies in these fields. Picking (one of) the best ones is going to be very difficult.

Bill Ackman outlines when to expect the buy signal for stocks
Bill Ackman, billionaire investor and CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, said Tuesday that investors would be prompted to buy stocks when the Federal Reserve decides to pause interest rate hikes.
“I think once people realize the Fed doesn’t have to keep increasing rates and will soon be taking rates down, that’s kind of a buy signal for markets,” Ackman said. He predicted that if the Fed raised interest rates further and held t...
