Dealing with losses - Keep or Sell?


Hello dear community,


I am new here on getquin and wanted to start a discussion on the topic of dealing with losses.


I myself, like many others probably, started investing after the Corona crash and got influenced by the growth-above-all preachers. Since I'm in my mid-20s and my goal is long-term capital accumulation, I quickly bought stocks that were wildly overvalued at the time, like $NET (+2,43 %) , $SQ (+0,18 %) , $APPS (+3,52 %) or $PLTR (+5,1 %) I bought.


Due to professional stress, I had traded less actively in the past year and just let the portfolio run. The result is a stock portfolio 25% in the red, which was fortunately cushioned somewhat by my base investments in ETFs (80% of my total investment). Nevertheless, I am now faced with the decision whether to sell such deep red things or not? The goal of these investments is still capital generation.


I would be interested to know how you deal with such values and what are your worst investments so far?


In the sense, despite unpleasant topic, on a good exchange 🤙

A very good article has already been written on the subject of losses. I currently also have three shares that have suffered a bit with -20%. But since I continue to believe that $MMM gets the problems under control. I remain in it. With $MPW is already more difficult, should the accusations prove true. The thing is probably worthless. Well, no risk no fun. How are your ideas of your "problem" shares?

$NET and $PLTR are both tech stocks that have suffered anyway due to the market environment. In the end, you have to think: Are you convinced of the investment case? If so, why are you thinking about selling? If you are no longer convinced, out with it 🤷🏼‍♂️

It is difficult to give advice. I also have one or two deep red positions - but all solid dividend payers. Therefore, stay cool and collect dividends (quote is not mine). As long as the stock's business model works I see no reason to sell and would sit it out. 🤔
