Stock Market

Hello everyone! I wanted to get advice from any experienced senior analyst/investor in stock markets on what to do woth this extremely volatile markets. My problem is that I had my portfolio leveraged over than 100% ago two months, with heavy profits. Now everything has changed due to the Coronavirus. I had to forced sell some positions (Amazon , for ex) and now I'm with some deficit in my broker account! and with big losses in the last weeks. unfortunately i did not sell soon and instead of that, I tried to double and overweight my positions. What would you do now? Sell almost everything and trust that the market will keep falling down or try to hold on my positions altought i may have to keep selling forced if the markets keeps dropping. Interestengly how you can pass from +20% to -20%. Lessons learned. Don't overleverage your portfolio. Wait your answers. Thanks in advance. sorry for my english. I'm not a native english speaker.

There is not enough information in your topic to provide any reasonable investment advice. No one knows your time horizon, risk tolerance, financial situation, etc. You did have a high risk tolerance but one's appetite for risk tends to change during bear markets.
