I thought to reduce stock exposure on Friday noon with expectation that market will go down more. I did not do so because market was already sliding down and don’t want to “sell at loss”.weird mindset

Unless you need it right now, why sell. The market will come back. Better off finding additional entry pts for names you like.

Really need to change it! What’s at loss is already At loss!

I have a pretty good knack for this - I sold off and looking at pre market very glad I did. Only sold off my trading portfolio tho, long term holds are still in play.

When I start to see all my positions sliding multiple days in a row I’m usually out

Good call!!

Never try to time the market:
