In this episode, Andrew and Dave delve into listener questions focusing on position sizing and portfolio management. They discuss the merits of tracking total cash versus total percentage and elaborate on the use of spreadsheets and tools like Fiscal AI. The hosts dissect the idea of averaging up on stocks, providing insights on when it might be appropriate based on a company's lifecycle and growth potential.
The conversation also ventures into analyzing substantial losses in a portfolio, examining specific stocks like Wynn, Alibaba, Baidu, and Airbnb. Andrew and Dave offer advice on how to evaluate whether a stock's decline is due to short-term issues or more systemic problems, and they underscore the importance of understanding the fundamentals and business lifecycle before making buy or sell decisions.
