Re:[ Would you hold, buy more, sell?] I have a small META position in my Growth IRA, currently down about 12%. I plan to keep holding for now and wait for a move back above the 200-day SMA. Like you said, it’s hard to know where it will bottom, but as long as the company’s fundamentals remain solid, I’m not concerned. If it drops toward the $550 area and stabilizes, I’ll reassess and decide whether to add or make another adjustment.

Hi. I purchased META at the end of October, but I'm currently down close to $2500 (around 16.5%). I hesitate to sell because I don't like to lose money. I don't need to sell, but I'm not sure where this is going. Would you hold, buy more, sell? Yup, I get it. The market doesn't always give you the instant gratification we all desire. Tough to look at a new position that immediately goes in the red. I felt the same way with META a few years ago, seems to have been stuck in a trading range and thought about selling when it broke above 170 again but held. Look where we are now. As many say, time in the market is key or better said...patience grasshopper, patience. Long META....but cost basis $32.00 a share so I'm in the proverbial comfort zone.
