    The Investing Lesson That Changed Everything For Me

    Kirby coffee-can case - $5,000 initial buys (≈$16k today) left untouched produced one Haloid stake worth >$800,000 in Xerox, beating the professional portfolio and highlighting value of not trading winners away Bessembinder (1926-2016) on ~26,000 U.S. stocks - majority underperformed 1-month T-bills, 4% of firms generated all net wealth above T-bills, and ~90 firms (0.3%) created over half of market wealth Phelps and Mayer on 100-baggers - hundreds of 100x winners existed, the average 100-bagger took ~26 years, so premature selling of winners forfeits the disproportionate long-term compounding Behavioral evidence - Barber and Odean show most-active retail traders underperformed by >6% annually and sold stocks later seen outperforming replacements, supporting pre-commitment tools like a never-sell list Practical application - author holds winners despite valuation (GE +50% last year, forward EPS multiple >40x); recommended actions: set never-sell core positions, size for volatility, add on weakness, accept some losers

    My Portfolio Review: High Conviction, Low Yield, Massive Upside

    I run a high-conviction, concentrated portfolio of 15 stocks built around wide-moat compounders and long-term capital appreciation over current income. The portfolio excels in quality, inflation resilience, and growth, but comes with elevated volatility due to sector concentration and cyclical exposure. Core themes include Permian landowners, logistics leaders, aerospace/defense, and “tollbooth” monopolies with strong pricing power and secular tailwinds. Going forward, I aim to improve diversification and income without selling core positions, strengthening long-term compounding while managing risk.
