R30R Quandale Dingleberry : No one who truly understands the market, the risks and the stock fundamentals will give you that sort of advice here. You’ll get those from people who have no idea what it means for ‘you’ to lose money.

Consider this - fundamentally good stock, however they are bleeding cash as their revenue and profit correlation is skewed because of high costs, supply to produce products can continue to be a challenge, the macroeconomics aren’t great (just at this point in time), forward guidance is positive, EPS in future still questionable, over valued at 1k and undervalued at 500, great order book and clients, mainstream competition (dell, etc.) not exactly flourishing, the entire sector is bearish/trying to recover.

Now top that up with these - do you desperately need that money stuck in this? Or is it just panic seeing the paper loss? If you sell and lose the money, are you confident you can make this money back through another trade? Do you have the bandwidth or patience to see how the stock performs when the market corrects to a bullish stance? Did you want to trade (to make quick money) or were you looking to invest in a company for long(er) term?

Think it through. Panic selling is easy but filled with regret (I’ve been there). But if you consider all scenarios and then sell, you will not lose faith in being able to play in volatile markets and volatile stocks.

Also, next time put a stop loss.
