1/ When to sell (thread)

I rarely sell, but that doesn't mean I never do it

Here are the 11 reasons why I sell a stock

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Outside force
....etc

Thesis busted = admit defeat and move on
3/ Accounting Irregularities

If I can't trust the numbers, how can I make decisions?

Not all network effects are created equally

Key question:

Does 1 more connection create value for ALL other users,

Ex: ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

but not for all 2+ billion users

($FB still benefits hugely from network effects)
Ex: $WU

Western Union can send money from anywhere to anywhere,

which sounds great,

until you learn that a few connections REALLY matter,

and many other connections don't

(to say nothing of the fact that it has been disrupted by electronic payments)
