The stock market is often volatile.
What would you do if your entire portfolio took a 10% loss?
Sell all? Sell some? Buy a little? Buy a lot? Just hold?

My stop loss wouldn't allow such a huge loss for the ones i protected such, while I would hold the ones which I did not use such an order due to them beign thrustworthy and capable of swinging back up, i.e coca cola taking a hit

Also would use the money from the stop loss to buy stocks that, after my analisys are below their real worth and give no signs of falling again, or/and wait a little more to buy the ones that keep falling to buy them in the low and watch them swing back up
I just put 2k into ETFs every payday so i dont have to worry about this shit

If my Index went down 10%, I'd hold, I don't rely on it to survive, why wouldn't I hold?

Absolutely nothing

Because you can sell it and buy it back later for less. Learn some basic finance.

I would not do anything.
I'm in this long-term, when i get closer to like 40 years old I'll start worrying about volatility. Right now I'm 90% in s&p

Selling means you take a capital loss on the investment whereas the loss was soft before you unwinded your position. Just stick it out and hedge your portfolio to against whatever is calling such volatility within the market. Although keep in mind that systematic risk cannot be diversified away.

I know, that's why I told the guy who said "hurr just liquidate and buy lower," to be quiet. Not only for the reasons you just said, but you could easily be wrong and then if you buy back in higher, you have compound your loss. Just wait it out if you're going long-term. That's what long-term means.
