Ben Simpson (YouTube) advises investors to sell underperforming altcoins rather than holding out of guilt or pride. He illustrates with a client who has about $260,000 in their portfolio, is ‘crushing it’ on a couple of big winners, but still holds about five or six small-position coins (approximately six coins making up ~10% of the portfolio). Simpson recommends reverse-engineering the emotional reluctance to sell, considering opportunity cost, simplifying sell strategy, and rotating capital into better-performing coins to improve portfolio performance.

Chapters

If your altcoins are underperforming, you need to sell and move through the pain of the shame and guilt you have of holding those coins. I get it. I suppose one of our clients, he's got $260,000 in his portfolio, crushing it on a couple of the old coin plays that we set up for him. But he's still holding about five or six coins that have a little bit amount. I think six coins make up 10 of his portfolio that are all underperforming. And also there's such a small amount that even if they do go up, the complexity of selling multiple coins makes it harder for him to actually take profits the right time. This is a mistake I see investors make constantly. Is that the feeling of that guilt and the shame of holding those coins? They want to be right, they don't want to sell it down. Is I get it. I've been there. You need to reverse engineer that. Think about the opportunity cost you have of not rotating that into better coins and seeing that grow. Rather, you're holding 10% of your portfolio. That's dragging you behind. And also the sell strategy can be a lot easier. So fix your portfolio, sell down those coins, and make sure your portfolio strategy is correct.
