Sell off on Wall Street yesterday due to Fed interest rate decision not to intervene with the economy. Not only UK is trading lower, everywhere it is lower.

Every U.K. stock is doing rubbish and wanted to know why. Because of the silly US stock market

Or you could look at it as an opportunity to buy the right stocks at a discount.

Iām down at -Ā£5.96 already this morning. is it worth waiting to see if my stocks will pick up?
I got stocks like BP, Shell, Rio Tinto , Imperial Brands and SMT. So these are normally good stocks.
Just donāt know what to do

If you are worried about being down the price of a cheap lunch you should not be investing in stocks.

No Iām worried that the fact it could go down further. Iām obviously aware of the risks but never been in this situation before so itās normal.

A cheap lunch to some could be a weeks lunch to others.
Everything is at risk @Mr.Trade when itās not in your pocket but donāt get emotional trading as it can make you do things youāll regret in a few candles!! Trust me on that Iāve done it many times in the past and lost more than Iād like to count.
Watch this hopefully it helps

Iām new to this and first time I have lost money and seen all my stocks in red. It might be a few pence but it could go down further.
So give me a break.

Youāve not lost any money until you sell them at a loss.
Hang tight, the markets are very volatile at the moment.
My shares lost a total of Ā£500 yesterday but not worried. Back to normal at some point. Be that a week, month or year.
Never invest more than you can āaffordā or else you will make silly decisions.
