Paytm, zeel and subexltd are biggest disasters in our family portfolio.
But I learned and learning alot since COVID..
Recovered lot from reversal trades. Sample examples.
1) Cartrade purchased at bottom and sold at 900
2) Kalyan jewellers bought around Avg of 68 (5000 shares) and sold this year Jan
3) Zomato brought at 70 and sold at 155
4) Birlasoft bought at 300+ avg and sold in batches around 700-800+ range
5) Recent one policybazaar purchased at 670+ avg in Jan and sold at 1170+ couple of weeks back.
6) Made a big entry in JIOFin after fall of Paytm.
Invested and sold Few more penny stocks like RTnpower, suzlon, trident.

Bought KPI green energy stock at 200 now its price is 1600/- I stuck in this stock whether to sell or hold for future, unable to take this tough decision, holding from 2 years
Strongly it's a Hold for long Term.
When i was tracking it it was at 350-400 range. AFAIR Gone to 800+, also issued 1:1 Bonus in Last year. Now rest is history.
Definitely it's a Hold for Long Term.

Thankfully I got stuck in none of the stocks, though direct stock investing consists of just 10% of my equity portfolio, rest MFs. I kind of got stuck in Bajaj Finance, with no returns is last 2 years, I am holding it as a token, as it is my first investment.
Looking at these stories, I wonder how many of the investors are serious about investing in direct equity. If your portfolio is doing well, then good. If position size in each of these stuck stocks is 5-10%, then fine. Buy and hold will not work for lot of people. Unless one diversifies across sectors, more chance that one gets stuck and loses patience. But I wonder for how many of the people here, direct stock investing is some kind of fun and fueled by sight of quick gains. Because for lot of people, mutual funds are best way to build wealth and reach goals.
Value investing and fundamental investing sounds too glamourous, but for retails investors it is extremely lopsided in terms of time spent to return ratio.
I used to think like this, then 1 day i realised MFs and ETFs are using my money to earn 100 while i only get 20 back. When i realised i could "do it myself", i started investing in growth stocks with long term holding

Paushak bought because saurabh Mukhaerjia was so bullish and advertised all over, now just this month he disclosed he sold the holding and I am stuck with 50% loss still dropping
I bought Birla Tyres at Peak and Now i am stuck with 100% loss.
If everyone is at loss who the hell is making money ?
Are you trying to gather stocks holding data from users?
HDFC 11% Loss
Nice Collection. 👍
TCS 🔥 - Seems like you did bottom fishing in it. Little bit above of 52W LOW. even at CMP it's already discounted and below it 52W high of 4250 approx.
PAYTM - again bottom fishing. 🔥👍
HDFCBANK - Looks you picked at recent upmove. You will still get some chances to add more.
SJVN 🔥 -. Add more.
Missed booking 5.5L profit ... And I m always ready to see 5-10 Lac loss. (Warning for those who get carried away)
Stock market is very risky. Better than Mutual fund PPF sukanya if you ve patience and time it to perfection...
