๐๐ก๐๐ง ๐๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ '๐๐๐ค๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ'?
A mistake many investors make when they are starting out is that they close a position when they have made a certain return.
Maybe they are up 100% or 150% or even 300% and are tempted to 'take some profits'.
But here's the thing - ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ.
If you bought gold at $1,000 and it's now at $4,000, should you sell?
Well if you only bought a very small amount, and you believe it is going much higher, and your current position reflects a sensible proportion of the portfolio, then why would you sell - even if you are sitting on a 300% gain? You should probably just hold.
We have positions in this portfolio which we are up hundreds of percent. Are we selling them? Not necessarily.
The only thing that matters is the % allocation that position has in your portfolio and whether you believe it to be suitable at the current time.
If an asset you like drops in price, you should buy more. If you make a large allocation to an asset and it appreciates a lot very fast, maybe you rebalance. But the same principle applies:

Hope this is helpful.

If anything holding a small position which has run up high gives you the track record to buy the dips if you believe in the stock long term, the only caveat is how low will it return too in a bear market and to compare if you were to compound your current gains into the same stock may have higher returns...

Sure, itโs too small to sell anyway. Last year, I invested around 8% in total in quantum stocks and did some buy-low, sell-high kind of moves. You can imagine that at a certain point, you have to think about risk management, especially when youโre already managing a considerable amount of capital.... Show More
Sold d-wave on 18 euros partial (luckely) 1500 % profit. And now its over 30 together with rigetti and ionq I regret all my sold positions so farโฆ... Show More
Rigetti is exploding. I saw some guy close a trade at 4000% profit. That's the potential power of small caps. Risky, but can pay off big........ Show More
But then a certain Trump can make an announcement and then 2 years worth of gains simply disappear in a week.
It all depends on personal circumstances.
I know many that made a tonne in IONQ ....and was life changing for them.
