Quick takeaways

Holding onto winning stocks is crucial for portfolio growth and performance, comparable to keeping a star player on an ice hockey team.

Understanding the discovery process provides a significant edge in identifying companies before they gain broader market attention, leading to potential outsized returns.

Deep dives

The Importance of Holding Onto Winners

The speaker emphasizes the significance of holding onto your winners, using the example of a company, Expell, that experienced rapid growth and increased in value. He believes in not trimming a position simply because it becomes a large percentage of your portfolio. Instead, he suggests keeping winners in your lineup as long as they continue to perform, similar to having a star player on an ice hockey team. Only when a winner starts to lose its edge does it make sense to reduce the position.
