[Events] Do You Think Losing Money Teaches You More Than Making It?

TigerEvents
10-17

Let’s be honest—no one wins all the time in the market. Some people say the real value of investing isn’t in the money you make, but in the lessons you learn when you lose.

Maybe getting stuck in a bad trade taught you to manage risk.

Maybe buying the top and panic selling taught you how emotional the market can be.

Maybe missing a big opportunity showed you the value of patience.

Do you think your losses made you a better investor? Or do you believe that winning builds real confidence?

    Definitely! Losing makes me reflect much more than winning. Why I lost money? Is it because I should not have entered the trade, because I didn’t have a trade plan or did didn’t follow it? Or wrong timing? Follow blindly a stock tip? Too greedy and ended up losing? Many questions indeed

    Losing money and making money both bring lessons though the lesson might stick better with money losing trades due to the pain.


    Buying tencent at the high in 2020 taught me a lesson against chasing highs but the profit that I made in 2024-2025 taught me patience and conviction do pay off!

    Losing money can indeed teach valuable lessons, such as risk management and resilience. However, making money can also provide lessons, like discipline and strategic thinking. Ultimately, both experiences can be valuable teachers. In a nutshell, losses teach risk management and gains teach strategies.

    Losing money makes me more careful about investing money. I  am more prudent about investing more until I do more research and re-assess my risk appetite.

    Losing money will make u reflect on what's goes wrong with the decision and accumulate more experiences in decision making.

    Losing made me understand that following what bloggers and other investors say may not be ideal. They can react quickly as they understand the situation and company situation but if we only follow them and not understand the market, it may be too late to react. We have to understand the risk and what is happening to the market ourselves
