I have only been playing around in the stock market for a few years so I really don't have much advice, but I do have a little story. When I first started out I put some money in a company called Shopify. I bought 65 shares at $67.58. I got flustered when it was at $110.96 and was excited to make a few grand so I pulled it out. Shopify is now at $384...
I guess my novice advise is that you are probably not smarter than everyone else and you should just stay calm. If you are playing with individual stocks for short term gains on the side of a real job, treat it as a hobby not a retirement plan.
