$APH (Amphenol Corporation) Sometimes, among your carefully chosen stocks, one turns out to be the black sheep. On paper, it has everything, strong fundamentals, growth potential, analysts praising it, the whole “great company” story.
You buy it you’ve found a winner!
Then it quietly becomes the portfolio’s disaster.
At first, you stay loyal. You tell yourself the market is missing something. It’s just temporary. The thesis is intact. You read another earnings report, convince yourself the numbers are solid, and give it a bit more time.
Then a bit more.
And somehow this “great stock” keeps acting like it was picked by your worst enemy.
That’s the frustrating part: sometimes a company can look excellent on paper and still perform like dead weight. The market doesn’t pay you for being theoretically right, it pays when capital is in the right place at the right time.
Eventually, you stop treating it like a prized investment and start seeing it for what it has become: an expensive lesson in attachment.
That’s the case with Amphenol Corporation, a stock that looked like a future star, but somehow auditioned for the role of portfolio clown. Sometimes the smartest move is simply to let the “great stock” go and accept that, for now, it’s just a very respectable piece of crap.
Finally closed with 8% of loss and now is loosing 20% so at least glad I left before the disaster... Show More
