 Episode notes 
Take Early Small Positions In Housebuilders
- Buy a toehold in housebuilders before policy clarity if you see improving mortgage affordability.
- Small early positions can pay off when a budget or policy shift boosts demand.
Generous Bids Often Beat Hopes For Turnaround
- A generous bid can be an attractive exit for an underperforming company.
- Consider selling rather than holding for potential higher bids when underlying quality is poor.
Sell Half To Balance Bid Risk
- If in doubt with a takeover bid, consider selling half your holding to lock in gains.
- Splitting your position balances bid risk against upside from higher offers.
