    one the worst thing you can do in the field of stocks is not having a diverse enough portfolio. Your portfolio should have balance as in if one stock declines the others with be able to keep up the dead weight so you don't completely go broke. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

    Also don't pull out your money. (unless the given nature of whatever business it is is going under or failing badly) Whatever you do. It will climb eventually. It's the nature of stocks. You're giving yourself losses by not sticking it out.

    Of course this is just my advice on how to handle something like this, up to you to make your own decisions. I'm just giving you advice that people who mentored me passed on. Good luck bro

    We’ve already diversified to certain extent and my fathers hasn’t pulled out of his stocks with major losses, but it sucks they aren’t going anywhere

    thats the nature of day trading man. One of the riskiest forms of trading. Something like a mutual fund is a better option if you're not trying to risk anything. You'll see slow increases but over time it piles up

    Also, if you’re banking on an earnings report to save you...

    It’s not impossible, but the way your stocks have been performing, ER could either tank it further or keep it static. A lot of WELL performing stocks did poorly after even good ER’s.

    To add salt to the wound:

    • He ACCIDENTALLY invested 16,000 into the wrong stock (JNUG) when he was gonna but JDST

    • My mother got $18,000 in unemployment but all of that went into stocks

    • Half of the money I got from selling my car ($5000) went into cryptocurrency, not as worried with that one though. Also this because my dad insisted me to do it

    Honestly I don’t typically recommend pulling out, but it seems you’re already down pretty badly. If you keep it there and ER results in a bad performance, your losses could be even more severe.

    That’s what I’m saying about our current investment in NAT, the ER will be out tomorrow morning and I’m worried as s***

    accidentally?

    looks like your father shouldn’t handle anymore of your family’s money, at least not without the rest of the family’s input first

    NIO just had their best ER yet last week & the stock plummeted 2 dollars the same day

    earnings reports mean nothing tbh

    You haven't lost any money until you close the trade. HODL till the stock goes to the moon

    Investing in the stock market is not ed. If you invest in safe index funds or large tech companies you will make some good money over time. The problem is when people get inpatient and they want to triple their money in a month
