The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell. I know it feels horrible right now, but this moment — when everyone’s scared — is exactly the kind of moment that historically builds wealth, not destroys it. Markets move in cycles. What feels like the end is often just the middle.
If you believed in your investment at higher prices, ask yourself: has the value really changed, or just the price? This is the time to zoom out, not panic-sell at the bottom. Selling now means turning a paper loss into a real one. Sometimes the hardest thing is also the smartest — doing nothing, or even buying more when everyone else is afraid.
