Hey, everybody. This is Ryan Mallory with SharePlanner.com swing trading the stock market.

In today's episode, we're going to talk about what's the point of selling stocks at a big loss.

One of the things that I've noticed, it's a common thread with a lot of traders is that

whether they're coming to the trading block looking for answers or whether I just come across

these people through the normal course of life or through social media is that a lot of traders

experience heavy losses in their portfolio and they don't know,

especially early on in their trading, and they don't know what to do with them.

Like what's the point of selling them now when they're this big of a loss?

And that's really what I want to focus on with this particular podcast episode.

So what I like to do, I don't like to use people's real names.

I never do.

I use people's, I give people good Florida redneck names.

And in this case, instead of using the real name,

I'm going to call this guy rusty gravel.

Don't know if there's actually a rusty gravel out there.

I even did a Facebook people search and there wasn't any, but I thought it was kind of a cool

name.

So we're going to give this guy the name Rusty Gravel.

And Rusty writes, Hi Ryan.

I recently discovered your podcast and listening to lots of episodes now.
