There are always reasons why you start investing, and those reasons also dictate how you structure your portfolio. During periods of increased market volatility, it may be helpful to revisit these targets to see if conditions have changed. Please consider the following questions carefully:
The value of my investment has dropped, have my goals changed?
Is my investment horizon the same as when I constructed my portfolio?
Is my financial situation the same?
Is my investment portfolio in line...

Most traders/ investors fail when they let their emotions control them and make irrational decisions. There are 9 major emotions in trading.
1. Fear.
Fear is probably the most talked-about emotion we face while trading. When a stock's price falls a lot, you may fear buying because you think that it may fall further so you panic sell. Soon after, the stock may rally. So you missed buying when there was extreme fear. When the price rises, you may fear buying becaus...

i guess it is important to always invest based on goals rather than just financial gains cos when you are focused only on financial gains, you lose track of the amount of risks you are taking and the opportunities that you kay potentially miss because you want to make quick cash and gains. i always take time to do my own research rather than just listen to market speculations.

Do not be fearful when the market is down. Do not be greedy when the market is up. Always have a exit strategy when we enter a trade.

stop getting caught up with what u c and hear! Follow your heart and sound advice after you have done your rearch and due dilligence. Lastly, understand that investing is risky and its not a get quick rich scheme. wealth is not made in the short term! Good things come to those who can wait! Be patient, discipline and i know great things will happen👍🏾

MooMamaLlama : good questions! I think its important to re-evaluate often..without changing positions unnecessarily....often out of greed and fear of course! lol. Your questions are great to be asking regularly in this volatile market. And keeping good track of the companies or industries we're invested in is a great way to keep track of investments without constantly watching tickers.
Are you happy to change the risk tolerance and time horizons of your investments(in either direction), according to industry or company pivoting direction?... for eg. take on a little more risk if time horizon to solid profit is moved up? or cut losses on an investment that ties up equity whilst price remains low?...
I'm invested in JRV which recently had an offering of shares to current investors at 0.42. Let's just say I was in a great position on 0.49 when price was above 0.57 Since they diluted the price it dropped to 0.375- 0.38 Instead of being terrified of the loss, I looked at the time horizon and projected time to profit whilst just holding. watching it drop daily wasn't fun but I sure hope it's hitting bottom... Because I fought that fear, ignored my company shareholder letter offering extra shares at 0.42 so far...and bought more off market yesterday instead at 0.38.
I thought about WHY I invested in JRV in the first place and realised they were bound to lose money due to opening new facilities, I shouldn't be worried about them raising needed capital via extra shares. right? haha maybe I'm just stubborn or stupid?!
Jamesim OP MooMamaLlama : In fact, as long as we take the right steps, we believe that we will see wealth soon. Impulse is the devil.
MooMamaLlama Jamesim OP : haha true facts.. you make it sound so simple! we all believe we are in the market to become wealthy
We all believe we take the right steps- when we take them carefully. As we often know we are being irrational when trading through emotion.
Jamesim OP MooMamaLlama : Don't be blinded by greed, don't care about what you miss. As long as you self-review and increase experience, you will succeed.
