Q: I feel a bit lost and don't know what to do. Many of the stocks I own are down, some by a lot. Oh yes, it has been painful. Thinking of the long term, I did very little when the carnage started, and waited for things to settle. Perhaps they have or are getting close and I am getting ready to figure out what to do. But it is difficult to come to grips with some of the large losses, especially in holdings that I previously thought were pretty solid. For example, MG and PBH (and a number of others) . I see there are questions about these 2, so I am not looking necessarily for info about them; but more, do I sell stocks that I thought were, and still think are, good long term holdings, to move to other stocks that are said to have, currently, more potential? I see your comments about not sector jumping. But how do I adjust, if I get past my pain?
Though some are from registered accounts, there are losses in taxable accounts; how much consideration is to be given to that issue?
Many thanks for your excellent service.
