Everyone at the moment seems to want to sell ggp and find the next big thing. What they don’t seem to realise that they have/had the next big thing, GGP.
Private investors usually underperform the markets big time, they sell their winners and run their losers. Professional investors when asked what their holding period is, answer forever. Do you think Buffett, Train or Smith constantly ‘top slice’. No they don’t so nor should we.
Do what you like but don’t expect to find the next ggp lurking around every corner. These opportunities come round once a lifetime. You either were lucky or smart to invest in this opportunity. If you were smart then you should realise the size of the prize. If you were lucky don’t expect to be lucky with your next pick. It just doesn’t work like that.
Glad I got that off my chest.....
