i got 56 stocks.. came into this like i kid in a candy store. now i feel sick seeing all these losing picks.

I would take L and sell everything. and pick a stock you think you can keep around for next 5 years.

and you know what i'm gonna buy :shaq:

I'm wondering if I should sell and buy back in when/if it dips below since my cost basis is at $50 :patrice:
Can't time the market. Sell if you want to, but you're better off DCA.....

I was going buy a shyt ton more on tuesday when it was $64 because I had a feeling that was the new floor and i didnt want to mess up my cost basis. But now, when an article says they this shyt can move like the next tesla or shopify.....


This rally is only just beginning

16 of them are fractional shares that i haven't taken seriously and 14 others are in the red.


it's ok to take L. don't make the same mistake i made. whatever you pick next will get back the money you lost if you keep it long enough.



and there's no getting back from this by the way. you will hold L forever if you keep that many unless all of those are good stocks.

take L and consolidate. and thank us later.

Lol 56 is too many. 20 is my max but even then ill sell out and roll over into different positions or add gains to an Ark

ark was my first large purchase. I was very hesitant to start off investing in a stock with a high share price because i was skeptical it would grow meaningfully fast enough. 2 months later i'm more comfortable with it, but my total investment is really small compared to others here.

i just added up the non fractional shares that are in the red and my total cost basis is $3,393.29, ever changing market value of those shares is $2,945.45 and so my current losses are just $447.84

i should note that Microsoft and tesla are in the red which i counted too. it's really my OPTI investment thats the biggest loser among them all. I'm just waiting for next years earning report to sell.
