I Wasn't Wrong About Every Investment. I Was Wrong About One Thing.
When people lose money in the market, they often blame the asset.
Sometimes, the real problem isn't what you bought.
It's how much you bought.
Early in my investing journey, I believed that if I had enough conviction, I should keep buying more every time the price dropped.
In my mind, increasing my position meant increasing my future profits.
What I didn't realize was that I was also increasing my risk.
Today, I see investing differently.
Even the strongest projects can disappoint.
Unexpected regulations can shake the market.
Security breaches happen.
Macroeconomic events can send every asset lower.
No investment is guaranteed.
That's why position sizing matters.
I never want a single investment to have the power to destroy my entire portfolio.
If one trade can wipe you out, your biggest problem isn't market volatility.
It's risk concentration.
The goal of investing isn't to be right every time.
The goal is to stay in the game long enough for your good decisions to compound.
One lesson changed my mindset forever:
Protect your downside first. The upside will always take care of itself.
Today, I don't ask myself,
"How much can I make?"
I ask,
"If I'm completely wrong, can I comfortably absorb this loss?"
That single question has made me a far better investor than chasing the next 10x opportunity ever did.
How much of your portfolio are you comfortable putting into a single investment?
