description: "During a crash, capital preservation is the top priority, not conservatism, but a top-tier mindset. A 50% drop requires a 100% increase to break even.This is the hardest mathematical rule:- Lose 10%, need an 11% gain to break even- Lose 30%, need a 43% gain to break even- Lose 50%, need to double to break even- Lose 70%, almost impossible to recoverOnce the principal is severely wounded, compounding interest is directly interrupted, and time stands on the opposite side.Preserving capital means preserving the qualification for a comeback, the spark of compound interest, and future opportunities."
