Word of the Day: Jeopardize

I jeopardized my trading account by removing my stop loss order today, I swear I will never do it again.

(Have to admit that I had to research this to know what it meant, thereby jeopardizing my reputation as a financial genious, haha! ~ Em):

"A stop-loss order is an order placed with a broker to buy or sell once the stock reaches a certain price. A stop-loss is designed to limit an investor's loss on a security position. Setting a stop-loss order for 10% below the price at which you bought the stock will limit your loss to 10%."

Or is it rather,
that we feel concerned, at times, that we might be jeopardizing something else, that is of value to us,
by doing something we believe is securing something that is also of value to us?
:oops:;)

(Heady concept - I'd love to know the thinking behind this, but don't want to jeopardize the life of this thread by hearing it here! ~ Em)

Some pet owners jeopardize the lives of their cats by letting them stay outside all night.

(I believe that the owners should spend the nights outside and let the cats have the safety and comfort of the home! ~ Em)
