I have had the unfortunate "luck" of having two stocks lose about 20% in consecutive days (FB and TWTR). The two stocks represent about 15% of my portfolio. While the paper loses suck, I feel strongly that these companies will be around for a significant time (more confident in FB vs. TWTR)
- As a person on the road to FIRE in the next 5 years and DW in the next 10, how do you handle volatility in your portfolio? What if you were already in retirement, do people not own these types of high volatility stocks?
I too have "safer" dividend payers in my portfolio but also have some growth stocks as well. I am curious on how people think, react or adjust to situations.
Thanks!
