Investments lost money – how?

May 17, 2011

Q. I just looked into my investment, since year 2007 until to-date, I had invested $154,000, but current market value only $125,000, Just realised that I had lose out $29000… Oh my god…. what should I do?  I thought unit trust would make $$$…. I am losing confidence… and thought of selling all unit trust and wait till market go down, then go in again…. what do you think?
