HOW IT IS PROTECTED & HOW TO PLACE IT
- Buy 25 shares of INTC around $121.77 ($3,044).
- Right away set a stop-loss at $112.03. If it falls there, you are out — the most you can lose is $243.54 (8.0%).
- Set a target at $146.12. You risk $243.54 to make about $608.85 — that is 2.5:1.
Even though it is extended, your downside is fixed by the stop — you cannot lose more than $243.54 unless it gaps overnight.
GUT CHECK
Recency bias. A big recent run makes it feel like it must keep going — extended names mean-revert more often than they extend. Anchor to your stop and your size, not to the last move.
