There is a reason the rear view mirror is a whole lot smaller than the windshield. Winning only teaches arrogance. I've had 2 near death experiences with what I call the Trading Portfolio. I've rebuilt both times. Lets just say 3 things... I'm not buying the Mag 7 after playing the 4 Horsemen in August 2000. I'm never going ALL IN. I'll accept pure risk with Position Size. No Leverage. Cheers 60

My experience is, if I panic and sell something , I will never jump back in. It's wiped from my memory and I never look back, it's my personality. Therefore I miss out on a resurgence. An example would be Methanex I sold back in the 90's at probably 3 bucks because it was "under performing" and I never bought it back stupid me. Now it's around 50. Thankfully mistakes like this are few for me. My largest gains have been with something I own at higher levels and it drops, say 50-90 % and I methodically buy more through the years if I like management, waiting for the cycle to swing back my way. Doesn't matter if it's high tech, nat resources, banking, etc. Everything is a cycle, ebbs and flows. Back then I had time on my side, these days not so much so ymmv. Some would say I'm a loser for my approach lol maybe they're right. If I was managing others money, that would be correct, but I don't.
