According to veteran portfolio manager Jonathan Wellum of ROCKLINC Investment Partners, the default answer is almost never...unless the investment thesis has fundamentally changed. In this conversation with Maggie Lake, Wellum explains why long-term investors often hurt returns by selling too early, chasing market trends, or reacting emotionally to volatility.
He outlines the three legitimate reasons to sell a stock, discusses why taxes shouldn't dictate investment decisions, explains how Warren Buffett approached trimming Apple, and shares why patience remains one of the greatest competitive advantages investors have. He also offers practical guidance on managing concentration risk, evaluating intrinsic value, and avoiding costly behavioral mistakes.
If you're wondering whether it's time to take profits—or simply stay the course—this interview provides a disciplined framework for making better investment decisions.
💡 Jonathan Wellum says the hardest investing decision isn't what to buy—it's knowing when to sell. Get a free portfolio review from Jonathan and the team at ROCKLINC to determine whether your biggest winners still deserve a place in your portfolio: https://bit.ly/4fktjJb

16/07/2026 | 14 mins.Is the U.S. stock market more overvalued than at any point in the last 150 years—except for 1927? Economist Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute, believes today's extreme valuations, rising leverage, and mounting fiscal pressures are creating the conditions for a major market reckoning.
In this conversation with Maggie Lake, Thornton explains why he sees elevated risks for equities, why he believes gold and silver may have already found a bottom despite recent weakness, and how shifting interest rate expectations, a weakening dollar, and growing government deficits could trigger a powerful rotation into precious metals. He also shares his controversial view on the Federal Reserve's true priorities and what investors should watch as markets navigate an increasingly uncertain macro environment.
