I started investing in January 2021 and now down 55% on my capital and feel like giving up on stocks forever.


Over the course of 2021 I invested in FB, NFLX, TMUS, DIS, JPM, GS, ADBE, LEN, SAM, PYPL, SQ, SHW, BABA, BKNG, SE, SHOP, MRNA, NET, DKNG, PLTR, HD, and NVDA and have unrealized losses ranging from 13% to 75% on all these stocks. I bought AMZN in March 2021 and SPY/VOO/VTI in July 2021 and those have been flat over that period.

The only bright spots in my portfolio have been AZO, AA, ANTM, PG, and COP but I only put 1% capital into each of those stocks and I am down 55% on my entire capital. I just dont feel like I will ever recover from the losses any time soon. It is going to take more than a 100% gain on what I have now to recover and I am thinking about giving up on stocks. What should one do if they are in this spot?
