greatest blunder in trading

"i did precisely the wrong thing,"
livingstone notes.

"the cotton showed me a loss
and i kept it.

the wheat showed me a profit
and i sold it out.

of all the speculative blunders
there are few greater than
trying to average a losing game.

always sell what shows you a loss
and keep what shows you a profit."
