You are right about the crap shoot part.. I have not applied the 'keep your winners' consistently and have paid for it few times.. And I have kept some loosers long time where the dead money, a fair % of the portfolio, has messed up the returns.. Last year I changed my style of taking concentrated positions and turned out I would have been well served staying with what I had always done.. Missed too many of my own picks for various reasons.. Hence, you have to do what you feel comfortable and apply it consistently but I guess learn from your mistakes.. You have done very well in 3 years. Congratulations. My first 2 years, I lost 50% of what I put in.. But thank god, did not panic and recovered from there..
