Bad investment

I made a bad investment.
I would love to say it was purely accidental but it wasn't!
I'm down 33% of ALL my money
If you were in my situation, what would you do? And no, taking the money out isn't an option. I mean, which stocks do you like/own etc. Why?

I would just say stick it out and just wait for the economy to pick back up..

hard to really give you advice here with the given info? what exactly did you do ? what did you invest in ? what is your risk tolerance before and going forward ?

Pork Bellies have been doing really well for me. I'm up about 10% over the past month.

I made my first foray into trading in January... I'm down 5% already. I think it's gonna pick that back up pretty soon though, and I'm not in any hurry to sell it, so I'll be alright.

Why is this the case? If you can't take the money out, you really have no option.

If you are in the highest tax bracket then this is your answer.

I'd double down. If you liked it at 100 you should love it at 67.

best advice I ever got was to cut all losses at 8% and take a step back to re-evaluate. You can always buy again.

I bought my 1st stock (exxon) in october 1987. I kept on buying each month with 13% of my wages and retired october 2009.

The best way to prevent this is to always have an 'out' price in you head.

If I had any sense, i would have sold about 50% of it when it was in the 90's. Hard to make that decision when all you have known is buy and hold for 22yr.
