Though the purpose for going into an investment is definitely to make money, but there are times where the said investment might not go as planned. There are some business that i have invested in before but in the end, i was not able to get back what i invested in. In such a case, what should the investor do? Should he give up or simply take a little break and try again?

In case my investment falls, I have to find the causes of that and remedy them to revive my investment. It fails if it is not given attention to the changes in the cash flow small or big.

Each type of investment has a different plan and treatment, such as high-risk investment in stocks and crypto, whether you choose superior stocks and crypto or low-risk crypto and cheap stocks so that the company is likely to go bankrupt. You have to look for other investment instruments so that it will make you calmer, investing should be in accordance with both financial and skill capabilities so that it doesn't make your heart beat hard.

Really, if an investment fails, what I do is accept it, it depends on what I consider to be failing, for example, if it falls a lot, I simply keep it and accept the losses, but if I see that it has failed in some of its fundamentals and it is falling, what I do is sell it and get rid of the investment, if an investment fails in its fundamental for me there is usually no turning back with that asset.

Well, it depends. For example, in trading, sometimes you lose money, but it does not mean that it is wrong. Many people make money this way. If I know to invest in the right business and fail, I take a break and start again

I will take a break from investment but I will surely move on after a while

If an investment fails, it does not mean you cannot revive it. You just need additional capital and clear innovations. Do instant inventory to know which one needs a priority and not.

That's the reason one is told to invest within his or her risk tolerance level. You won't do anything. It is just an investment gone wrong. You pick up yourself and learn the lesson from it.

In all investments there are profits and losses, the important thing is always that the balance is positive, whoever expects to win always is living in a dream world, but this is real life, and it takes time and discipline to build wealth.

Yes, there are wins and losses in real life, and even successful and wealthy people fail a lot. But, nevertheless, the fear of failure is always there, especially when you get older.

I never invested in private companies. I just invested in stocks, bonds and mutual funds. When the stock price drops and I made a loss, I would not sell them to realize the loss. I just wait until the stock price rises again.

Investments can falls because of different reasons, so first you need to find out the causes of that and remedy them to see how you can put back your investment.

yes it is true When we are younger, we have less experience and we are not afraid of failure. We think we always win. But as we get older, our experience increases. We're talking about investing here, but I even try not to say hi to anyone because sometimes a hello gets us into trouble. That is why as you get older, your courage decreases because you have had bitter experiences. The same is true for investment, but it depends on

There is absolutely nothing you can do when an investment fail, all you need to do is pick up the pieces and start all over again.
it's true. There is no point in grieving except that you are also destroying your future. It is something that happened. You should take a break and start again. Of course, the lesson of failure should not be forgotten
