1. “Rule No. 1: never lose money; Rule No. 2: Dont forget Rule No. 1”- Warren Buffet

If you are serious to learn to invest, Warren Buffet is a great model to follow. But the question was: Is it really possible not to lose money at all?

But if you are losing your money and are out of control about this; you must think twice.
