Listen "Ep 65: Should You Continue To Hold An Underperforming Investment?"

Episode Synopsis

Inevitably you will have some investments perform better than others in your portfolio. A normal, human response is to seek pleasure and avoid pain or sell the underperformer and buy what has done well. But does that make investing sense?
Listen to Kevin discuss critical concepts of diversification and probability and why process matters more than outcomes. Hear an example of this being applied in professional basketball and playing probabilities in blackjack.
In sticking to a good process, good outcomes are more likely to result. In focusing on outcomes, you are more at risk of stampeding over the cliff with the uninformed herd and wrecking retirement.
