This is like an insurance policy. There maybe new modifications to this but as a rule of thumb 7-8% is the max loss you should take in a buying venture.

What I wanted to tell is "Do your own study before buying anything" and "Don't buy just because of others buy" rather than profit margin.

Thanks for +reps and comments

Very creative one.This should be the way we should aquire if we really want to educate new comers without blaming,insulting or asking question which are only valid in court, like 'Do manipulators ask u to buy ?' 'Does SEC ask u to go after rallies ?'
