Made just enough money at Coca Cola but others

Hi guys,

First time posting , long time follower of WSO.

So anyways today 10 minutes before market closed I made just enough money to buy myself a F.95 Noctilux.

My question is I have about 350 shares from Intel and Cisco , and to be honest when i bought them about 2 months ago , I expected them to rise up in market value.

Honestly I lost a tiny bit of money , but my question is should I sell Cisco and Intel before I loose even more , or keep it.

I really want to see Intel hit that 30 mark , but one can hope.

Suggestions welcome,

Thanks,

Dennis

Sales & Trading Mock Coffee Chat

“Markus was incredibly generous with his time and expertise throughout my Goldman Sachs Sales & Trading HireVue preparation. He didn't just review my answers, he taught me how to think about what interviewers are actually listening for: conviction, specificity, and the ability to defend a number rather than just state one. He pushed back on answers that were too polished or vague, and encouraged real honesty in the harder questions rather than letting me smooth over anything uncomfortable, which made a genuine difference in the quality of my prep. His questions, particularly the AI-focused ones, forced me to think much more critically about my own experiences rather than recycling generic stories. I feel significantly more prepared going into this process because of the time he invested in helping me get here.”

to be honest, I think everybody who buys a stock expects it to 'rise up in market value'.

I would suggest you sell those stocks if I was you, not because I have an opinion on them, but because you don't.

I would say this is pretty good advice!
