[Events] What’s the Longest You’ve Ever Bagheld a Stock?

We all know that being a bag holder is one of the worst experiences in stock investment.

Have you ever bought the dip… and then it just kept dipping? 😅

You told yourself, “It’s fine. I’ll just wait. It’ll come back.”

Then 3 months go by…

Then 6 months…

Then a year… and you’re still holding. 😩

This week, we want to hear your story: What’s the longest you’ve ever held a losing stock — and what happened in the end? Did it finally recover? Or did you take the L and move on?

    $AMN Healthcare Services Inc(AMN)$was my biggest bag holder and I am still waiting to sell it off. I bought it at 69 and watched it slide, ever buoyed initially by Covid fears and later fear of taking a loss and hopes of a partial rebound where I can give it off but that never happened. Will however soon sell it off for reinvesting the money.

    Bought $Venture(V03.SI)$ $UOL(U14.SI)$ one to two years back to catch the falling knife when they dropped so much. I preserve and wait until this year... both suddenly turn green but I think i still hold on to it.

    Rex international. I bought it at 0.63 when the international oil price was at USD110-120.
    At a point , it suddenly U-turn into USD 30-50 per barrel. Rex int dropped from 0.63 to 0.06 cents.
    From 2018-2019, I restarted accumulating Rex at 0.06 and 0.08. I'm lucky enough, recovered all capital and made a profit of 6k from it. Total numbers of years been trapped  to the day I sold... I bag holded for around 5 to 6 years

    I think this question is wrongly posed. If you are buying a good business, volatilities are expected. Don't look at it like bag holding.

    My bagholding story was with UNH. First the stock crashes due to the unfortunate incident of the ceo. Then trump decides to cut their funding , it crashes further. The bill passes , so one would think it is the end of the bleed. But no wait there’s more, they give revised guidance and the stock now dives even more. I don’t know if I will retire before breaking even with UNH

    感觉持了很久的时间,亏到不要不要的。最惨时刻亏接近85%。最近已经趁反弹止损了。检查一下已经持有接近18个月了。 @Tiramisu2020

    Top Glove is My Bagholder Badge of Honour.  I am down 90%. That is not a typo.  That is a latex laced lesson in humility.

    A bagholder is someone who clings to a stock long after its glory days are gone, watching it tumble while whispering sweet nothings like maybe it will bounce. It is the financial equivalent of holding the bouquet after the wedding has been called off.

    I was that person.  I believed in Top Glove.  I held the bag.  I even considered framing the chart as modern art.

    But here is the twist.  I don't see it as failure.  I see it as tuition.

    Top Glove taught me:

    That hype fades but fundamentals endure.

    That conviction without discipline is just romanticism.

    That every scar in my portfolio can become a story of growth.

    Since then I have rebuilt with purpose, focusing on fundamentals.

    I did not just lose money.  I gained wisdom.

    To every bagholder: May your next conviction be wiser & stronger.

    Brothers and sisters ,
    Here is
    An Epic Tale of me bag holding SEA


    With 100 lots of SEA, bought at one-eight-five,
    I clutched them so dearly, keeping hope alive.
    For 1701 days, through market’s wild sway,
    I whispered, “Someday… you’ll surely repay.”


    I sold at one-eight-six point six-zero, oh boy,
    Not champagne returns, but still, a joy!
    Through 136 options, I twisted and played,
    Like a circus of Greeks where my nerves were displayed
    It wasn’t a jackpot, but I’ll still proudly say:
    “I made me some money… and it’s profit TODAY!” 💸✨
    Attached chart for verification
    Hope you can learn some lessons from it

    My most painful bagholder story has to be with FFIE — which later rebranded to $Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.(FFAI)$ but still couldn’t change its fate. I bought the dip thinking it was a “cheap EV play,” only to watch it keep sinking. At first, I told myself it was just market sentiment, but deep down I knew the fundamentals were weak.

    Months stretched into a year, and I kept holding, hoping for some miracle recovery or big announcement. Instead, it just bled further, and checking the price felt like holding a lottery ticket rather than an investment. Calling it a “lousy bullshit company” is honestly too kind — the hype never matched reality.

    Eventually, I took the L and moved on. It was a hard lesson, but it taught me not to confuse “cheap” with “value” and to avoid story stocks without solid execution. Painful at the time, but at least I can laugh about it now — and hopefully never repeat the same mistake.

    你好。我于2025年4月购买并持有胜科(平均ABT 6.3美元)。它表现非常好,在2025年上半年业绩公布之前,价格已升至7.8美元。股价上涨约24%。我什至在七月下旬购买了更多股票,认为胜科考虑到其海外业务,例如印度的可再生能源、阿曼的太阳能发电厂等,应该会做得很好。令我沮丧的是,胜科在2025年上半年业绩发布后股价暴跌如此严重。截至25年8月29日,仅售6.07美元。尽管胜科的净利润约为5.36亿美元,中期股息为9c,但市场对胜科的期望确实很高!从这次糟糕的经历中吸取的重要教训是设定合理的目标以确保部分利润,例如超过20%的收益,即使有长期持有的意图。尽管如此,胜科还是得到了淡马锡控股作为其最大股东的大力支持。长期来看应该能够恢复到7.8美元以上。目前,先持有它,因为它有良好的股息支付。干杯。[Smile][Smile]

    I had been holding on tonthe $Sea Ltd(SE)$ for more than 3 years. I saw the price from the peak of 300plus drop to the bottom of 40plus. However, I had been trading options to recover back my losses from the shares I had purchased. Now, I had turned to profits even though the share price yet to reach my purchase price.

    Wow, holding SE since the COVID period—that’s some serious patience! That kind of bagholding takes guts, especially through the lows when it felt like the market might never turn. And now that you’re finally in profit, how’s it feeling? Like a weight off your shoulders? [Grin] [Happy] [Sly]

    🔪🩸🩸My love lost and most sad bag holder is $Intel(INTC)$. For 2 full years I dreamt about its share price flying sky high to give me good profits. It has solid U.S. government defense contracts. The U.S. government even holds 10% of its stock but its share price still fails to lift off the ground. May I know who else are suffering & praying hard now?🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Thank you & big Like to @TigerEvents @TigerStars @Tiger_comments
