still a little bit high
we got a bit more way down to go yet

just chilll

like poker
don't show all your cards/hand

True bro, I'm still waiting for when this spreads in the US.  That's when it'll hit the bottom.

Hey I"ve got a couple stock that's nearing red, losing all my gains.  I'm thinking of selling those and buy them back later on when the price is lower since I'm thinking it will go even lower.
What do you think?

how's your tax situation??

if you sell and realized gains,  uncle same is going take 25% capital gain tax (depending on how long you hold it,short term or long term)

if i sell all my position. im going pay like $50k-100k just in tax alone to uncle sam
too much hassel
plus i got like 30 years mores till retirement


my advice is: 

if the stock is a good company and you think it can weather the storm
just hold
if you are scared, and have weak hand, just sell 10-30% of it
and rebuy when it hits the bottom

I won't have any gains, it's gonna be in the red very shortly.  I'm not selling any that is still green.

I will have some that is about $100-200 red.  I think it will go lower.

in that case
you won't owe uncle sam much tax
cuz the gain is small


if the company is good, i will just sell like 10-30% of it

Ok thanks!

you never want to get out of the market 100%
because you do get dividend and etc...
and overtime, that helps you out

instead you should be rebalancing

i wrote a thread on that

I'm not getting out, I'm selling 10% of my stocks, the ones that are hitting red.
Gonna either rebalance or wait out for the bottom to buy back in.

It actually might go green today, so I made a bad choice.  Oh well, live and learn.
90% of my portfolio haven't been touched so I'm fine.  And I'll put these $$ back to work next week, so it should be minimal loss. 
And if the market does tank more, I'll have these funds to buy cheaper shares.  Now I'm rooting for the market to go down more.

Don’t get emotional
When it comes to this kinda of thing

Don’t sell off all your positions
Also don’t buy with all your money

I add a little bit at a time

$500 here
$1000 there
$5000 here

Kinda like poker
Keep your cards close

Don't worry.  I'm keeping it strong.  Not gonna touch anything anymore. LOL
I remember back in 2018.  I lost $60k in Sept-Dec.  I never touched my account and it all recovered a few months later.
