The 3 “Sell Traps” That Will Cost You Millions (My $6M Mistake)
"Selling your winners and holding your losers is like cutting the flowers and watering the weeds." - Peter Lynch
Most investors know this principle. Few have the discipline to live it, and even fewer have paid the $6,000,000 price I did to learn why.
There's a moment every investor faces: the offer looks right, the market is moving in your direction, and you've doubled, tripled, or quadrupled your position. Every instinct tells you to take the money and walk away.
That instinct has a cost. I know—because I paid it.
After 16 full-cycle mobile home park transactions and more than a decade of professional trials, I've identified the three traps that cause disciplined investors to abandon durably wonderful assets, and the three signals that tell you it's actually time to sell. Learning the difference is what separates the speculator from the Sage Investor.
In this episode, you'll also hear the story behind the greatest real estate transaction in history—a $39 billion deal that taught me more about timing, patience, and preparation than any book could.
If you've ever felt the pull to sell something you should have held, this episode is for you.
