In January I made a slow lane mistake of investing £450 in shares (£20 of which is fees, so only £430 invested).
Over the last year, including dividends there's been no growth, my portfolio is at the same value. The plan was just to leave this investment for 30 years, and let it grow at roughly 5% per year, but I can see this is a waste of time. I could cash out now and have £400 cash for a loss of £50, or I could just leave it for a rainy day?

What are your thoughts on this situation?
