Many here think of Livermore as one of the greatest traders ever. So, what happened to him? After making millions being short in 1929 and 1930, he reversed and bought heavily too soon, as the market sank to one new low after another... he must have ignored his most amous axiom...
CUT YOUR LOSSES
LET YOUR PROFITS RUN

Good luck is with the man who doesn't include it in his plan.

Why cut your losses when you can add to a losing position and go broke twice as fast?
