1. In the future never put all your investments in one share. Its rule number 1 is to have investments in many different baskets such as equities, bonds, valuables and one day housing.
2. Learn about trading share volatility. Some of us who arrived after July 2020 built up 50% of our shares from profits by selling high and buying it back lower which is rule number 2. Some of us have wasted time here at Synairgen from losing in the end on many winning trades, but our losses are half of those investors who bought late on and never traded and had a high average price.
3. Everybody has a losing year occasionally. Your not married to any equity stock. I am not throwing more money at Synairgen. I have kept 7.5% of my original holding only to manage it out as a loss next year. Instead rule number 3, do research into what else you would like to read about and learn the subject matter like an expert. If you do not have a clue what it is do not put your money into it. Only you can be in charge of where you put your funds. Double check and cross reference what you can. You examine competition. You identify what is good value and what is overpriced. You find out the quality of people in what you are investing in. You understand accounts and read through risk management documents public companies provide in annual reports and so forth.
4. As others have said you are young, but now wiser. It is how you come back from your set back and use this disappointment to motivate yourself in being far better on whatever you choose to do. The skills you pick up are resilience , risk management and attention to detail and much more.
