After you make money off stocks, can you lose that same money, or do you get to keep it?

Question

I just don't know. :)

Answer 1

If a stock's price goes up, you don't make anything until you sell them, and if it goes back down before you sell, you lose the difference.(if you sell)

Answer 2

What you need to do is put a trailing stop loss on them, that way if they go down it will trigger a sell order so you can keep the profit. Otherwise if the stock goes down, you will lose all the gains.It will follow the stock up if it continues to go up so you won't lose the chance to gain more. Good luck

Answer 3

You can reinvest it in something that tanks .
If you keep investing , you mostly win , but can always loose .
Stocks are NOT FDIC insured Nor guaranteed .

You can just take the cash and go play if you want .
Once you make it , you can do what you want .
