The best piece of advice I can give you, having learnt the hard way early on is to hold on and don’t sell because something has gone into the red. Shares don’t stay blue everyday I'm afraid.
No matter how new you are, make sure you do your own research. CINE prime example, it dropped purely because of Covid-19 and Cinemas being forced to close. Yes, it has likely had financial repercussions, but nothing has been produced yet, so once Cinemas open next month there is currently no known reason why the share price won’t gradually head back towards 200p. So even if you have bought in at 100p you’re still likely to double your money if you hold on tight. It’s just a bumpy road of ups and down until you get there.
Unfortunately, investing is reactive. The only thing you can do is set yourself a realistic target price and adjust it when news comes in. For instance, if you’re 25% down now, just ignore the current share price, unless CINE were to bring out disastrous news, then you would have to readjust your target price accordingly.
