[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not use a stop loss to protect my investments. We had a flash crash a few years ago that triggered many stop losses on individual stocks, not sure about the ETFs, and those positions recovered their losses within minutes. I would just be diversified to manage my risk in investments. A similar event could happen again. And the powers that be never fully explained the reasons for that event. [/quote] Who are the powers that be and what explanation might they give for the flash crash?All that info is at your fingertips. My main point is that event or something similar could easily happen again. Or maybe some event happens in the Bond market, creating a rapid rise in rates, thus forcing the stock market down quickly. Triggering stop losses. Market rises on an escalator and corrects on an elevator. [/quote][/quote]
