My portfolio Current/Future State
  • Owned 11 stocks
    • 5 winners
    • 5 losers
    • 1 borderline loser
  • The goal is to reduce to 5 positions
  • Sold 4 stocks so far (made money on 2, lost money on 2)
  • Not all "losers" lost money. Some made money.
  • It's all about future return potential from here
Summary:

It's all about opportunity cost. Use rational analysis to overcome your behavioral biases.
