Why Smart Investors Sell at the Worst Possible Time

Many investors think selling is an easy part of investing that doesn’t require a lot of thought. In contrast, buying is exciting. It requires an understanding of valuation numbers, corporate fundamentals, and the macro environment. For many investors, these are interesting challenges that are an enjoyable part of investing. Yet, selling feels to many like an administrative process that’s executed more out of necessity. It’s the dotting of the investment i’s and the crossing of the t’s that concludes the process.
