Has anyone here held a stock that crashed for many many years and still doesn’t seem like it will recover anytime soon? What are your plans? Keep DCA’ing? Keep holding blindly and hoping it goes back up? Or sell at a loss?

How do you stay convinced when it has been down for so long? Waiting 10 years and sticking to your thesis doesn’t automatically mean the stock will recover.

What did you do?

Note : I’m asking those who have experienced this - so don’t bother commenting shit like ”yeah this is why you don’t buy individual stocks!! It’s gambling omg!!”

Edit : alot of people are mentioning the same things, having a thesis and price action ”would you buy it today” etc, some people still have good thesis and would still buy it today, even tho the stock has crashed hard and stayed down for many years.. so then what? That won’t save you
