Episode notes
Take Profits Before Greed Wins
- Don't let winners run unchecked; take profits before optimism becomes piggish.
- Discipline beats conviction, so ring the register when rules say sell.
Don't Fear Paying Taxes On Gains
- Accept taxes as the cost of realized gains and sell when it's time.
- A paper gain is worthless until you ring the register and pay the taxman.
Scale Into Positions Gradually
- Never buy your entire position at once; scale into positions over time.
- Stage buys so you can lower your cost basis if the stock dips.
