Episode notes
INSIGHT

Value Buy, Growth Hold

  • Bogumil buys with a value margin then holds for growth because paying less reduces downside and enables long-term compounding.
  • He asks "what if I'm wrong?" to ensure investments are affordable and holdable.
ADVICE

Sell For Better Ideas, Not Prices

  • Sell only when a clearly better idea displaces the holding rather than when an arbitrary price target is hit.
  • Avoid price targets because they give false precision and create psychological dilemmas at the target.
ANECDOTE

Cheap Stock Cost Me Sleep

  • Bogumil recounts researching a cheap, leveraged company while a colleague bought a pricier, steadier competitor.
  • The colleague kept sleep and lost less money because the competitor just executed better over time.
