How did your “have to pay bill” type of stock sale go? Did you lose money?

I assume most redittors on this sub do not day trade and know that buy and hold can be more rewarding than day trading.

So my question is, when you had to sell the stocks due to some basic human needs, like medical blls, tuition bills housing rents etc and so on , what’s the outcome of the sale?

Did your sale become a disguise for a blessing or a regret in the long run?

Let me throw my experience for fun. I had to sell stocks for a house downpay in 2021, so I had to sell $20k baba stocks and realized $17k loss in that single ticker.

I thought it’s a bad thing to sell for such a loss, and found out baba went from $170 to $70 if i didn’t sell. so it was really a disguise to blessing.

How’s your basic human needs sale go? what tickers did you sell and do you regret?
