How investors should deal with loss-makers in their portfolio

Dusseldorf Share prices on the stock exchange are rising again – but not across the board. The stock market stars of recent years are hardly moving or are even falling further: while the Dow Jones index in the USA has risen by almost 13 percent since the beginning of October, the Nasdaq Composite technology index has fallen by almost one percent.

Anyone who has stuck with the stock market stars from the Corona rally and still has stocks such as the video service Zoom, the fitness app Peloton or the telemedicine company Teladoc in their portfolio is unlikely to benefit from the current recovery.

The Handelsblatt spoke to experts about how they deal with such loss-makers themselves and which strategy they recommend to private investors. A look at history shows that sitting out is the worst of all options.
