Never lose money?

Many roads lead to Rome. I don't believe in "Never lose money".

I don't do much downside assessment, I don't aim for minimum losses. Losses to me is ok.

For me:

If the probable profit is much higher than probable loss, I buy. Else I don't buy.

If probable loss is higher than probable profit, I sell.
