🔥 YOUR FAVOURITE STOCK MIGHT BE YOUR BIGGEST RISK

Here’s an uncomfortable investing truth:

The stock you believe in the most can sometimes be the one you’re least willing to sell.

You start with a thesis.

Then the stock drops.

You defend it.

It drops again.

You buy more.

Suddenly, you’re no longer investing based on the original thesis — you’re trying to prove yourself right.

I’ve started asking myself one uncomfortable question:

“If I didn’t already own this stock, would I buy it today?”

If the answer is no…

Maybe the problem isn’t the stock price.

Maybe it’s attachment to the original decision.

Conviction is powerful.

But conviction without a kill-switch can become stubbornness.

💬 Be honest — have you ever held a stock longer simply because you didn’t want to admit you were wrong?
