I’ve lost 1500 in stocks, I’m a beginner, how do I know when to sell or wait it out? Should I sell my dogecoin?

What’s your investment thesis? What has changed? Price and macro are irrelevant. The bigger the difference between your thesis and general market consensus, the bigger your profit IF right. Make decisions accordingly.

Also depends on when you need the money and how much it is as a % of your portfolio.

I’m down 500k over this year or about 1/3rd of my portfolio and not even blinking (no crypto though. As much as I want to like it, I just can’t - blockchain is amazing but never seen a killer game changer for cryptocurrency).

I’m trying to work out how to buy as the companies I have a thesis in I see as cheap. Can be aggressive with some plays as I have a solid foundation on VOO, emergency funds, home equity and retirement money too.

But honestly, if your a beginner focus on building your base and habits. Nothing wrong with just buying VOO for 10+ years as you focus on your career etc.

Whoever recently laughed at this.

For starters, dogecoin is a meme and has no intrinsic value…

Associate 1 - The only thing bankers know how to do is money. We're in the business of making money. Goldman won't say a recession is inevitable. We want our clients to stay invested or even better, to recalibrate their portfolios.

Inflation, FED rates, Russian war, including crisis in Europe (Germany and Italy will be the worst impacted) when they stop fossil fuels from Russia, also China's housing market bubble will soon burst. Remember Evergrande?

Save this post. Stock market will end in red this year.

Depends on the stock? Sell dogecoin. That’s crap

Considering the only hope in Doge is Elon, then I’d think long and hard about how much risk you want to leave there 😂

Hold Doge at least until the next crypto wave. No guarantee that’ll happen but also no reason yet to believe it wouldn’t, when it’s happened 4x already and after much steeper bear markets.

For stocks, depends what you’re invested in really…

Thanks yall, as said I’m a beginner so I tossed in 3k just for ish and giggles. But it’s gonna down fast. But it’s not anything major

Any advice on telling your boss you’re leaving your team? For context, I’m the 4th one leaving within a month (boring product, not toxic or anything), and the manager id be telling is my skip level, as my old manager left the team and I’m actually moving to his new team. Trying not to throw shade on my old (new? lol) manager bc I know that he spent all of his career in this department before moving. Is there any way to soften the blow, other than just giving a 2-3 week notice?

I’m new to bonds so apologies if the question seems basic.
I’d like to buy a bond etf through a brokerage account and would like to know how does the dividend and dividend yield work exactly.
For BND, the dividend is 0.15 and the yield is 2.2%. Does it mean that for every BND I purchase I will receive 0.15 USD on a yearly basis?
And are these dividends distributed yearly from the date the bond etf is purchased? Or are they pro-rated somehow? Also do the dividends fluctuate with bons etf price?
