“Somewhere beyond right and wrong, there is a garden. I will meet you there.” ~ Rumi
If you invest in stocks, at some point, you are going to lose money. Try as much as you can, but there is no way around it.
Sometimes, a stock market loss is immediate and clear. A stock you bought at a higher price has plummeted. Like this one…
In other cases, your losses are not as obvious because they are more subtle. Like for investors in this stock, who suffered a time correction by holding on for five years yet seeing slightly negative returns…
Each of these types of losses can be painful, and especially for the fact that we assign negative connotations to the very word “loss.”
A “loss” in the stock market is essentially considered as a synonym to “failure,” and as being “wrong.”
