BTW, my comment was NOT directed at Otter. Have I stated he owns way more stocks than I ever wish to keep track of? Yes I have, but his methods are FAR from blindly buying and holding. He'll put an old dog down if it needs done. I have met people that clearly just collect stocks though. They'd be far better off just buying the index.
Last fall was a good test. I lost less than half the index. 2018 was actually a decent year. Nothing like 2019 of course. Combine those two years and near Index performance years with nowhere near the downside. That statement will be tested severely some year soon. I'll take a punch to the face, but I refuse to allow myself to get knocked out again like 2001. It worked in 2007 and it will work again.
Maybe I listen to a few too many Gundlach interviews.
Back to the topic, selling is much harder for me than than buying. I hope others will post their methods. I am here to learn.
