We said that losses in the stock market are the twin brother of profits. It is as natural to make a loss as it is to make a profit.
How to make a loss in the stock market:
(1) In general, prices fall on the stock exchange.
(2) Specifically, the firm represented by a share becomes insolvent or goes bankrupt.
If the firm represented by the stock is bankrupt there’s nothing to do. Your savings are zero. (Get well soon!)
If the company is in a difficult situation, the value of the stock falls. There are two things to do in this situation:
(1) Sell it as soon as possible for whatever it is worth.
(2) If there is hope that the company will recover, you throw the stock away and forget about it for a while.
If prices are generally falling in the stock market, there is nothing you can do. As they say in Anatolia “ … “You are not the only one who suffers losses…
A final word: If the money invested in shares is distributed among several different shares, it is not possible for all of them to become zero in one day.
When the value of the shares you hold is, for example, 150 million liras, the prices “boom … “ You find out that your shares are worth 50 million liras. It has even become difficult to sell them… It happens. Don’t worry … This is the “way of the business … ” As every up has a down for every down there is a way up.
