Not to turn this into a trading lesson, but this is why Jon and Pete Najarian always praise discipline when managing positions.
I’m not going to sit there and hold a stock and experience a 50% loss. I hear some of our panelists on CNBC saying that all the time. “Well, I bought this one, it’s down 50%, but I’m adding to it now.” No, I don’t do that.
We all make mistakes. These guys at Tiger Global are smart, and we’re sure they’ll figure it out on their own. But for anyone who can’t, we offer plenty of great trading services to help you get back on your feet.
