A loss is a loss once it becomes a loss, not after you sell it. If you are not managing risk in real-time, you are not managing risk.
Neither the stock nor your bank account knows—or cares—whether it's a value stock, a momentum stock, or whether Warren Buffett owns it. Risk doesn't care about labels or status.
The math is simple: the only way to protect yourself from a large loss is to take a small one. How you make that decision depends on your investment approach, but the math never changes.
Once a small loss turns into a large one, there's no guarantee you'll ever get back to breakeven—the time to manage risk has passed, and all that is left is hope.
Most traders screen for cheap stocks.
I screen for strength.
Every one of my biggest winners came from this single screener. It's the only scan I run every day and every weekend.
Here it is (free):

Here's exactly what it looks for 👇
1) 70%+ above the 52-week low
• I don't want stocks trying to recover.
• I want stocks already proving they can trend higher.
2) ADR ≥ 4.5%
Big winners need room to move. Low-volatility stocks rarely become home runs.
3) Above the EMA 8 & EMA 21
I want stocks already under institutional accumulation with strong momentum.
That's it!
Simple doesn't mean easy.
This screener is NOT a buy list. It's a research list.
Every stock still has to pass my manual analysis:
• Strong fundamentals (EPS +50% YoY or sales +20% YoY)
• A compelling growth story
• Clean price action
• A proper base
• Tight risk
• Industry leadership
Only a handful make it onto my watchlist and that's where the real work begins.
Most traders spend their time searching thousands of random stocks. I spend my time studying the strongest stocks in the market.
That one shift changed my trading.
If you consistently focus on strength instead of weakness, you'll start looking where the biggest winners are actually born.

@SenWarren You could give “the typical American” 11 MILLION years and they still would not create PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, OpenAI, xAI, Neuralink, Boring Company, Ad Astra, all while single-handedly saving free speech for all mankind.
