Don't sell. Not unless you want to turn your short term losses into long term losses.

The idea would be to get back in when, and if, things start improving. I'm not 'investor certified'
though!

A 50% loss would result in the need to make a 100% gain to break
even, if you bought back the same stock at what you sold it for.
If the stock declined another 50% you could buy twice the amount
you sold but you'd still need a 100% gain to break
even.

If the stock rose 50% after you sold it would cost you 25% more to
buy it back. If the stock regained its original value it would
cost you twice as much as you sold it for, to buy it
back.

Numbers dont lie.

I suppose that means to hang on to it?

I will hold what I have but I am not buying anything until this
quarantine nonsense is lifted. I still think this could be the big
one. (the end of the world economy as we know it). You can't just hot
the stop button and think things will still be there ready to go when
you hit start.
It is like a boat (see what I did there). If you let it sit unused too
long, it may never go again.
