Summary
A stop-loss should be used on every single swing-trade and day-trade that you make. No excuses. Stop-losses are absolutely the best and most simple way for preventing massive losses - well, that and not playing earnings or some major FDA announcement on penny stock biotech company. The point is, if you are going to trade stocks, you have to expect to have losing trades, and as a result, you have to know how you are going to manage those losing trades. In this podcast I cover: - What are stop-losses - The goal of stop-losses - Why people don't use them - How it keeps you in the game - Everyone likes stop-losses until they are executed - How a stop-loss stopped me from having one of my best trades ever - Don't Fear stop-losses

| 1:08.2 | Let me tell you why I'm talking about this today. |
| 1:13.7 | This morning, stopped out of two of them. Can't say I like being stopped out of stock, but it comes with the territory. It comes |

| 1:30.9 | If you're new to trading, you may be scratching your head at this. |
| 1:39.3 | Stop losses are basically a protective measure that you use to ensure that if a stock does not go the direction that you expect it to go, |
| 1:45.0 | that when it goes against your position or goes against the direction that you expect the stock to go, that it will stop you out for a manageable loss. |
| 1:50.0 | Now they're not foolproof because, say, you have a stock that's trading at 100 and you have a stop loss at 95 |
