I don't like to preach stuff but , here are a few motivational words of encouragement (if it may help)🙏
First of all, congrats - you have just witnessed a correction in its true sense - Covid was a flash crash - market recovered in a month - 2022 was a slow moving correction but still produced many winners - the past 5 months have seen aggressive correction as valuations were extremely high
Second of all, this is completely normal and part of investing
Nothing will ever move up one sided or fall down continuously - so when something falls do not worry or panic - it is part of the process
You cannot control the market - you can only control your process
If your investing style is chasing stocks - this should be a wake up call to stop doing that - you're only making your life hard
Have a framework/process to filter, to research, to watchlist, to buy and to sell - without a process you're just shooting in the dark
There is a time to make returns and there is a time to protect returns you will still end up making errors but the impact of those errors on capital will be small. Nobody has a 100% hit rate, I too am right only about 60-70% of the time - but that is enough to make decent money in the long run.
Learn to survive in corrections so that you can recover and build a new ATH PF during the next bull run.
Finally, you cannot time the market perfectly but can come reasonably close to it.
You may look like a fool buying something today as it falls the next day but when market turns it would be sudden as well so better to deploy when valuations are cheap, margin of safety is there and earnings growth intact.
Invest in your learning, Keep building and perfecting the process and you will come out on top.
This isn't the first bear market, wont be your last, neither what you saw since 2023 was the first bull market and wont be your last either.
Onward and Upwards.🎯
