HOW IT IS PROTECTED & HOW TO PLACE IT
- Buy 82 shares of INTC around $121.77 ($9,985).
- Right away set a stop-loss at $118.12. If it falls there, you are out — the most you can lose is $299.55 (3.0%).
- Set a target at $146.12 (+20.0% upside). You risk $299.55 to make $1,997 — that is 6.7:1.
Even though it is extended, your downside is fixed by the stop — you cannot lose more than $299.55 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.
