π When a winning stock breaks your safety rules, you don't ignore the rules. You enforce them.
Our position in $MU (Micron Technology, Inc.) has been performing exceptionally well. In fact, it grew too fast. It expanded right past our hard portfolio safety ceiling, which dictates that no single position can exceed 7% of our total portfolio value. π«

Excellent post, Lukas. I like the distinction between conviction and position sizing.
A stock can still be attractive, while the position itself becomes too large from a risk perspective. Locking in gains while keeping exposure is disciplined portfolio management.... Show More
Emotions destroy portfolios, but systems protect them. Trimming a winner to respect the 7% ceiling is the definition of professional risk management, regardless of how strong the momentum looks.... Show More
