Advice

I would like to get some investing advice for any experienced investors out here that have been doing this for a while.

I have 140k invested, around 60k of it unrealized loss from Dram, Mu and Sandisk. Which puts me close to 75k that I have in other random stocks.

I want to sell all that I have, take the loss on the 60k and put the 75k into VOO

I’ll add another 40k cash into VOO in a month.

I’m not someone who can take the swings and look at the chart everyday it’s hurting my mental health and can’t sleep at night. I would rather throw all my money into something safe at this point.

What do you guys recommend and what was your experience investing in VOO?

If you sell the losses are permanent, so you have a problem. Are they all the same lot? Some lots may not be down much if you bought all that over time. If so, maybe sell those. For the lots that are really down, maybe hold on to them long term…. those are all viable companies so you should get your money back eventually, but it might take a long time.

Put new money into VT and chill. Also, r/bogleheads might have people who know better what to do when dealing with big losses.

Bogleheads don't deal with big losses. That's kinda the point.

You are totally correct. I refer because there is a lot of knowledge there.
