Hey everyone, I need some advice. I started investing about a year ago, and right now, I own:
* **100 CLOV shares**
* **19 BBAI shares**
* **651 OPTT shares**
If I sell everything today, I’d walk away with about $650 total—which includes my $100 profit and my initial $550 investment back. This amount is an average because I’d lose some money to broker fees and bank charges.
I started my cookie business 3 months ago, and my sales so far have ranged from $20 to $150 per month. I live in Peru, where money stretches further than in the U.S., so that amount could significantly boost my business (buying a bigger oven, food-grade storage, better packaging, etc.).
Due to the current situation, with the Trump tariffs and market downturn, I’m wondering if my money would be better used for my business rather than staying in these speculative stocks. I plan to expand beyond just selling cookies and move into the corporate market (catering, events, etc.).
What would you do in my situation? Should I go all-in on my business, keep some stocks, or hold everything for now? Appreciate any insights!
