Handling Winners
Learning when to trim, when to hold, and when not to let fear control profitable positions.
Portfolio role: Process note for profitable positions
Risk level: Medium
Research focus: When to trim, when to hold, and how to avoid selling just because a gain exists
Decision impact: Creates a review framework for winners like QQQA, VUAG, SpaceX, and previously ASML.
Handling winners is difficult because both greed and fear can pretend to be discipline.
The note studies how to review valuation, thesis strength, concentration, and tax or frictional costs before trimming.
