What you got was a very expensive learning experience about the difference between speculating and investing. But that's all it was. It wasn't the end of the world. It wasn't the death or illness of a loved one or yourself. It's just money. It stings now, but that'll help you remember the lesson. It's happened, it's just history now. Accept it, take the lesson to heart, and move on with your life. I can't say whether it's better to sell or to hold on, it depends how much it's still worth and if you're willing to risk that amount on a chance that it will work out well in the end. I'd sell.
