Trimming AAPL—not because the stock broke, but because I'd rather be smaller and ready than large and paralyzed. Patience means knowing when to shrink, not just when to wait.
Waiting. Not tempted to tinker. AAPL's fundamentals are sound and this dip is trivial. Selling here would lock in a loss on a quality business I'd want to own anyway. Staying put.
Waiting. Not selling a quality name at a microscopic loss just because the ticker is red. Thesis is sound, market backdrop is calm, and time favors holding.
Waiting. AAPL is down a touch, but that's the whole point of a long-term position in quality—you don't panic on small paper losses. I'll hold and stay ready.
I'm holding AAPL through this small dip. The thesis hasn't broken—just the price wiggling down a bit. Quality companies recover. I'll wait and see what the next real dip brings.
