When to sell at a loss?

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?

I would consider myself a “long only” investor, but am unsure what to do given my lack of diversif

Sell when you need the cash to pay off other debt, etc. I’m heavy growth, but my investments this year have been heavy Value, small, and mid (in addition to total index).

I’m also bullish on long term opportunity for growth

I think a lot of people are asking themselves this question. I have a feeling a lot of consultants (specifically) are invested in growth stocks. I can’t speak for the specific company you’re in, but unless you think we’re headed for a long-term recession, then I think growth stocks can remain a high -risk / high-reward choice.

Any reasoning behind cloudfare? Would love to learn more
