DATA POINT: Whipsawed sore Of the 1,866 investments made by my top investors, 421 (22%) were realised for a loss of up to 10%. I discovered that 249 (59%) of these went on to make money. This suggests that if you cut your losses after suffering a minimal loss, you are probably going to be whipsawed. Moreover, a 10% loss is something that is easily recoverable, even if you have a disposition to take profits when you have made a mere 20%.
