Hey everyone. So as of February I inherited a bunch of stocks my father had in his brokerage that transferred to my brokerage account. I don’t follow the market too much anymore but wanted to get some opinions on the following stocks I now have. I have recently started investing in the SP500

Funds but never any individual stocks. I have the following: Apple, Disney, Microsoft, intel, O, and ford motor company. They are all pretty solid companies in my eyes except Disney which I’m not sure which direction they are heading. As of right now since they became mine I have paper losses of over $10,000 so far. After researching them, they all have upside and some even show potential for pretty decent growth. Disney reported great earnings but dropped like a stone right after. I’ve always kind of followed Apple stock as was gonna buy $14,000 worth when it was at $198 a share but I ended up needing the money to put on a roof on my house and decided not to. I still could have as have sufficient savings but didn’t want to dip into my savings to do so. Should I be riding these out or cut my losses? I feel it would be a mistake. If they were some shitty companies I would have done it already but they aren’t and I don’t need the money. Microsoft I have taken the biggest hit on so far dropping over 20%. As mentioned, I’m 98% sure I’m gonna just hold till whenever, no timeline. I have an SP500 fund I invest in and albeit that’s down as well but it’s for retirement so that’s gonna just

Ride out for 15-20 years. What you think?
