Re: % loss in portfolio

Gone from 30% profit to 10% loss in the last 4-5 weeks.
Long-term outlook backfired I suppose.
Seems like selling when it's up is more safe than holding onto it for long-term growth these days.

60% of total portfolio
funny is it? or stupid?
can't say what is going on

About 1% per minute this morning!
Thanking my lucky stars I sold 50% of my portfolio straight away when this all started a couple of weeks ago- should have liquidated the lot in hindsight?
Is there a "Smilie" for "sick feeling in my stomach"???

A lot of red ink but still in the green overall for the year(calender) to date. Not selling though as it is hard to pick the turning point, Trading is gambling. Every stock I hold has potential and I can see a fairly quick resolution to the problem which is bad for those using other peoples money but only a hiccup for those using their own. There is a lesson in this.

hindsight is a lovely word isn't?..i wish i could purchase some hindsight from woolies and save me the pain of seeing red across my entire portfolio and watchlist

i liquidated 70% of portfolio, but yeah that doesnt seem like i sold enough now..... i think i have lost around 20 000 of profits so far. and i thought i was been clever taking 50 odd k out of the market!

Correction. Another drop in AOE has now put me in the red on my portfolio for stocks on hand. I do have some profit on stocks sold during the period. My sentiments are still the same although it could be time to trade and tie in some tax losses. i.e. sell at a loss and buy straight back.

my situation is worse. I want to sell my sells. but IB removed all my shares from my account which made me unable to sell in the afternoon. in addition they reversed sell trading I have done for margin call reason. i.e. they buy shares for me yesterday automatically. I still can not do anything before the problem solved.
