    Gain required to fully recover from a loss

    One of the many pearls of wisdom dispensed by Warren Buffett is "Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Don't forget rule No. 1". Unfortunately this is easier said than done in the real world. Fund managers are acutely aware of investor aversion to losses.

    Losses on portfolios can be due to market movements in the price of the investments or when investments go under or default on their obligations. The latter is permanent capital loss, as there is no opportunity to recover the losses suffered. African Bank is an example of this. Investors may get some of their capital back, but will unlikely get a material portion of it back.

    When suffering losses, an investor requires a return higher than the loss to return to breakeven.

    How do you deal with losses?

    What does the reckoning look like if there is a corporate leverage crisis?

    Posted: 05 May 2018 06:41 AM PDT

    I've been reading a lot lately about people being worried about bond liquidity, quality of corporate fixed income, companies borrowing lots but not expanding their business, etc..

    Basically the story I get from watching bloomberg tv while I get dressed every morning is 1) People think a recession is on its way in a couple of years 2) Some people think that this recession will be sparked by a corporate leverage crisis

    But I don't know what to make of it. Does it mean that large companies won't pay off their bonds and collapse? Does it mean that there will be a big sell off on bonds and the value of the bonds will go down?

    But the value of bonds can't go down too far, because they will always have the intrinsic bond value, right? It's not like a stock that can go to zero.

    So what does the reckoning look like?

    My stocks have dropped 15% in 10 days. What should I do?

    Posted: 05 May 2018 12:09 AM PDT

    Hi, I'm from Indonesia and new in stock investment. So about 10 days ago I decided to buy 3 stocks consisting of 3 of the 5 largest banks in Indonesia with nearly equal portions each.

    My reasoning was that:

    1. I wanted to be safe so let's buy large banks stocks. Historically, the 1-year return was very good, 30%-40% and had always grew YoY. There's no chance of these banks going bankrupt.

    2. I thought in May, the price would soar, so I decided to buy a lot because I thought now is a good entry point.

    3. At first I wanted to invest and not trade. So I thought I wouldn't mind the volatility but now it got scary.

    I decided to spend about 75% of my asset to these 3 stocks. Shockingly, once I bought, the price dropped ridiculously since the very same day until now. Many believe that it will continue to drop until about September. This is so frightening.

    My mistake was:

    1. I didn't set any cut loss point. I thought I was gonna go for long term and I didn't think it was gonna end up this bad anyway. My mentality was "I just lose money on paper, but one day the trend will reverse inevitably". I thought I was gonna go for long term, but apparently I need the money to make more money.

    2. I invested too much for the first time, instead of doing a trial first. I really thought It was gonna go up.

    Please help me how can I save these stocks? I'm thinking to average down once it reaches it's lowest point. I can't afford to lose this much as a beginner.

    Alternatively, should I stop thinking about these 3 stocks at the moment and use what's left for investing in good bullish stocks?

    Thanks so much in advance.

    EDIT: Here's the stocks that I bought.
