Some of the hardest stocks to sell are the ones that made you money. In the latest edition of "Portfolio Audit Signals", the clairvoyant Seema flags this issue.
Successful investments are hard to sell because past investment success changes the way we look at them.
A stock you bought five years ago may have doubled, tripled, or more. At that point, it is easy to think:
“It has worked so well for me. Why should I sell?”
But it is also important to evaluate the company in the current scenario.
That means asking uncomfortable questions:
Is the business still as strong?
Is the growth still there?
What does the current valuation already price in?
This is important because your portfolio deserves an objective investment decision, not a lifetime membership for every stock that once performed well.
