When do I save myself?

$XDWD (-0,69%)
$IWDA (-0,52%)
$SEMI (-3,14%)

My portfolio is currently in free fall. When do I get out to reduce my loss? I'm only up 8%. My goal has always been to invest in ETFs for the long term.

@peter_griffin Based on your post, I'm guessing that you're not that experienced yet. Therefore short and concise:
With such broadly diversified ETFs, you generally only sell when you change strategy or want to liquidate your portfolio. With such ETFs, the investment horizon is long, i.e. such setbacks are basically even good for you. You can buy more and have a "discount" on top, so to speak.
So, if you are not about to retire, continue with your savings plan and accept the correction. Even if, for whatever reason, it falls by 50% now, it would make sense to buy more, as you can buy the shares more cheaply.
I hope that was understandable.
Best regards

You make returns when prices are low, so buy according to *no investment advice Gigiti*

Just wait and buy more ... corrections are part of your long-term goal. Look on the bright side that you've already been through a "bad" market phase ... then you'll be hardened for further ones.

A lot of tech, a lot of USA. Perhaps you should think about broader diversification. I wouldn't sell anything in principle, but I don't think much of sector ETFs either. But that's a matter of opinion.

In the msci world, zoom out the chart to 1-5 years. Then things will no longer look so bad.

You can now buy at discounted prices. If you want to be in it for the long term (10+years), then you should take advantage of such opportunities. So keep calm

Stay calm. If you have money, buy more. Your ETFs are good.

Don't sell under any circumstances.

Investing for the long term does not mean selling everything in a panic at the first fidget.

So don't sell. It will be fine. Think long-term.

"Time beats the market."
Just wait and see. The biggest mistake is to panic when prices fall and then sell your positions at a loss.
The market is cyclical and corrections are part of it.
