But we saved everything 🙂.
Mark Roussin, Founder / Senior Portfolio Manager at Roussin Capital Management, reflects on the psychological difficulty investors face when a stock they own falls by 30 percent. He notes that while the financial loss is significant, the impulse to cut the loss and preserve capital is often driven by emotion rather than rational strategy.
Roussin suggests that the hardest part for investors is resisting the urge to take action purely in response to instinctual anxiety about losses.
Roussin previously reported that most top SPY holdings recorded negative returns year-to-date, with Walmart standing out as a 10% gainer in his recent coverage. He also noted significant outperformance by individual stocks over the last twelve months, citing SNDK's 1,348% gain in a separate report. These trends reflect a wide range of outcomes for investors navigating market swings.
