Loss cutting thread
Posted: December 13th, 2018, 2:04 pm
Hi folks,
What is going to be the best forum to create a thread to discuss and hear people's critique about me and Mel's decision to fairly recently to sell at a loss two holdings, not because they had solely lost value, but because we decided that the underlying profitability seemed to have been wounded by recent events/discoveries etc.
I wondered firstly "Share ideas" because quite a few people read that board, or "Investment strategies" because, I guess, that's what loss-cutting is, but I also thought that "Company analysis" because the reason behind the portfolio exits in both cases, was a perception that the company's profitability does seem to be what we first imagined it was when we initially purchased. But I'm obviously open to other suggestions....
thanks
Matt
