How to Manage risk when Investing in Growth stocks

Set a goal for taking profits, not all stocks move in upward direction depending on the market sentiment. Even growth stocks have downsides as well. Macro fundamentals affect all stocks. A good sign to take profit is if the stock move by more than 10%. Remember bonds or banks can only earn a maximum of 3% per year and if you got 10% in a week swing, that’s very high already. Don’t be greedy.

I usually set my leverage to 2X to maintain my risk on stocks and a 20% gain is very good already.

Learn to cut loss when the stocks move against you. There are times that our entry could be a little off. Normal investors do add more when the stocks move down but this is not a good move as you will multiply your losses when it moves down further.
