2008 Trade-by-trade Results

You will note that not every recommendation we make is profitable. Ironically, however, accepting a losing trade now and then is an essential ingredient of ensuring long-term profits. Successful investors understand that there will be losses and they move forward promptly and unemotionally to the next opportunity.

Less than 40% of professional investors' trades make money. But, positive overall portfolio increases result from knowing when to sell their winners for healthy profits and how to keep their losses small. At Compass Investors, we manage our recommendations so that our winning trades gain far more than our non-winning trades lose.
