Ask a Fool: What Do the Rule Breakers Think About Stop Loss Orders?
In the following video, Lyons George, research analyst for The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers service, takes a question from a Fool member, who asks:
I'm a new Rule Breakers member. I tend to be drawn to the riskier side of stocks compared to my husband. I've dabbled in stop loss orders recently, but I'm finding I either don't like them, or I don't do them well. My question is, what is your opinion on stop loss orders vs. let it ride?
One stock Lyons discusses in the video is Netflix. The tumultuous performance of Netflix shares since the summer of 2011 has caused headaches for many devoted shareholders. While the company's first-mover status is often viewed as a competitive advantage, the opportunities in streaming media have brought some new, deep-pocketed rivals looking for their piece of a growing pie. Can Netflix fend off this burgeoning competition, and will its international growth aspirations really pay off? These are must-know issues for investors, which is why The Motley Fool has released a premium report on Netflix. Inside, you'll learn about the key opportunities and risks facing the company, as well as reasons to buy or sell the stock. The report includes a full year of updates to cover critical new developments, so make sure to click here and claim a copy today.
