What’s crazy is that the market is near all time highs, yet a lot of people are hurting.
Well I did not sell GME for a $220K profit back in Jan and did not buy back in at $40, so yeah.

My portfolio is 20% down. Should have stick to index funds

It’s been a difficult market to be consistent in.
Most the people I know and follow have had some wins and some losses. I was up big in early Feb, got blasted twice in late Feb and Mar and have been climbing back the last couple months. Lots of new positions and better risk management have been key. You have to be adoptable and always learning.
But we’re 3+ months from the peak of the meme stock / shitco / COVID winners peak. If you’re still sitting with the same portfolio then you need to rethink your approach.
The good news is the market is scheduled to be open again tomorrow.

One top of that, I paid 20k in taxes for 2020 for the same portfolio which is in super red. So basically I sold lot of positions in 2020 and entered others which tanked
Yep. Guessing like most, I missed 'economy opening = time to rotate'. Easy to see now, but in the midst of it all, why drop a massive winner?!

I have a mix of losers and non winners. Holding Apple, Pltr, pton, fsly, dal, CCL, NCLH, RBX, leaps on RKT, CHWY, COIN. Dropped plug for a good loss today. FML.

I’m down 25% in the last month !
All my Tech stocks are bleeding right now. 😭 lost $16k in last 2-3 months.. BABA, ETSY, NIO, LI, VRM.
I am holding for now. I should have sold ETSY when at $260 and NIO when it hit $64. I sat on both of those and I am basically down to my cost.
Coach
I’m down $40k since February. All relative. Bleeding is right!
Yep. Etsy is killing me right now
Have had a passive account with mutual funds for quite some time, decided to try my hand at picking some stocks/ETFs and did not dollar cost average... also bought in at the peak for many in/ around March. That account is down approx. 4-5% but more than offset by crypto mutual funds gain (personal mess around brokerage ~5% of net worth). In it for the long run, can’t overreact to a couple bad weeks/months... by the time we retire things will be VERY green comparably
Coach
You did well if you are only down 5%! I’m down 30%! Boom!
All I will say is that, just logout from your brokerage account. At max, sell some covered calls
Moving your winners or part of your winners to index funds keeps the misery away. In long run cherry picking stocks is a hard one to win
