Question

I bought SpaceX at the IPO and I’m now sitting on a significant loss. What should I do?

Answer

The appropriate response is perspective, not panic. The same evidence-based framework that suggests caution about IPO entry points also tells us that selling in response to short-term drawdowns is rarely a winning strategy. Rather than focusing solely on recent price movement, a more productive conversation covers your position sizing relative to your overall portfolio, your level of diversification, and whether your long-term goals have changed. We encourage you to reach out to your Mercer Advisors wealth advisor to review your situation in full context. If you aren’t a client, contact us – we’d love to walk through this with you.
