Why Setting Stop Loss Is Important

Selling a stock at a set loss level is as important as buying the stock at the right price when things go wrong with that particular stock. To understand the reason consider this: when you lose 5% on a stock, 5.25% gain is required to recover your capital and if you lose 20% then you need 25% gain. Notice it is not 20% gain to recover 20% loss. The problem becomes more severe as your loss level goes up. Thus for 40% loss, the gain would be have to be more than 60% (!) which is very hard to achieve for any stock. This is one reason why investors lose money and get disheartened with stock market.

See the graph below for the explanation.

When you see a falling stock which could be like a “falling knife”, it is best to sell and minimize your losses and then redeploy the cash when stock or markets show an upward trend.
