Reframe a Big Investment Loss as a Learning Point Not a Disaster
The number went red and now every decision feels tainted by it. Investment losses trigger a particular kind of self-blame that rarely produces anything useful. This separates whether you made a bad call from whether you just had bad luck, then turns the whole thing into two rules you will actually use next time.
<context>
You made an investment decision that has lost significant value: {WHAT_HAPPENED}. You are currently thinking about it as a failure and want a more useful perspective before deciding what to do next.

<task>
**Reframe** the situation:
1. Separate the outcome from the decision quality: was this a bad decision or a reasonable decision with a bad outcome
2. Identify what information was and was not available at the time you decided
3. Offer a different lens: what would an experienced investor take from this specific loss
4. Turn it into two concrete rules for future decisions
</task>
<output_format>
- Short reframe (3 to 4 sentences), no false comfort
- Two forward-looking rules, specific not generic
