Changing of the Colors: Advent of a Bear Market?

Where are we “now?” Potential tipping point?

Selling a stock is not un-American. Don’t hold because you’re stubborn

and don’t let the tax tail wag the decision dog, either. Take advantage of selling opportunities when you have

a good reason.

1. You need the money. This one is personal. Your own life circumstances

(college, a vacation, new car, new house, doctor bills, child’s wedding, bail money, church offering plate)

dictate the need. Update your company studies and sell the one that makes the most sense, often the one with

the lowest expected return. Source: “When to Sell: The Challenge of Reason” – Better Investing

(September 2004)

2. Because fundamentals (quality) are in decline.

Watch changes in management, slowing growth rates, declining profit margins, weird footnotes... and the FBI

and SEC. 3. Because you can make the portfolio

Better!Better!Improve the expected returns. Maintain the quality of the

holdings. Keep the overall sales growth forecast (or dividend yield) strong enough. Prudently diversify.

Don’t be afraid to sell. Portfolios CAN be

improved!

1. We’re here for the returns. Build an understanding of and expectations for your

companies.

2. Quality matters. Excellent companies persist and provide protection during bear

markets and corrections.

3. Design and manage portfolios with an emphasis on return forecasts, overall quality and the average growth of the

holdings. Rinse. Repeat.

Build an awareness of the tidal powers of momentum and sentiment. Discover

discipline and practice patience.
