There are always good stocks to buy, you just have to find them. 20% is a huge drop. I'm not sure how you could have lost so much but I would definitely try to learn a little more on the market if you keep your money there. |

Without knowing what you are in, I would say NO.
Sure, the market is down, but it always picks up.
Now, it this is a sudden loss, than it could be due to year-end account work that will adjust itself on January 1...so, if that is in the case, you are fine.
If its been a steady, year-long decline, than I would not look at liquidating your account but slowly start to transfer some of your assets into better funds.
I wish I knew more, cause then I could help more.
Shoot me a message on my 360 page if you have more details to give and don't want the world to see. |

No. When the market is down, that is the time to buy, not sell. |

right now those are paper losses, but selling and getting out turns those paper losses into real losses. Unless you have some capital gains that you need to offset with some losses, I'd stay put (unless you have companies that are all in death spirals in your portfolio) |

The real problem is: if you are down 20%, why did you wait so long to buy? How would you know that the market has turned and it's time to buy? Chances are, you will wait too long to get back in and lose another 20%. |

1. get out
2. save what's left
3. check my profile
4. find better way to invest
I run my own business and my net profit is over 5% a month (over 60%p.a.).
I never invest in stocks. |

only if you wanna lose another 30 - 35% on top of what you have already lost. The market is a rollercoaster ride with many ups and downs. Just ride them out, now if they stay down for over a year or more like uncles did it because noone is paying attention to your investment.His went down every year for 6 years until I got him to sit down with mea year ago. Find someone else to watch it and make sure it grows. A transfer may be your best option if its been down for a year or more. |

This market is in a dangerous place, four year dow transport has been broken, and the 60 month bull market has a decent chance of breaking next year. I've gotten most friends and family into cash, gold and defensive stocks. I'll continue to hold an energy portfolio OXY, HES, MRO, SUN, KWK, SWN, FST until that quits. |

it depends on what your goal for your investment was in the beginning. If you are in it for the long term portfolio building then I hope you invested in stocks that are better performers over the long haul... If so then now is not the time to sell, remember if you invested for the long haul, the market will have ups and downs... you just have to trust your investments were good, for the long term...
If you were investing for the short term then you may want to look strongly at selling... I would go for stocks that have lost more than 50% of their value since 2005 but the companies still turned a profit and possibly even paid a dividend... Many companies who lose that much value on the stock but can still maintain a profit probably have strong management, or have turned over management to those who know what to do to right the ship...
RIMM who makes Blackberrys stock dropped from over $100 to less than $20 two years ago... and almost peaked at $150 this year... just normal ups and downs that happen to many stocks... they profitable and paid a dividend throughout the entire rise and fall... |
