Would you capitulate before losing $50k original principal?


Let's assume there's no taxes.

And NO this is not my situation!

So 2 years ago you put a lump $50k into an investment and now you're getting within $2k or so of your principal after it went up 20% and now has fallen 18% or whatever.

Would you sell everything before letting the investment fall into your principal if there are no taxes (or very little) involved?

For example, would you let it fall to $45k?

What would be the benefit to letting you fall into your original lump sum?

Wouldn't it be better to just sell while you're ahead and wait on the sidelines?

Good luck all!
