I lost nearly $48,000 by being too "smart" with my investments — and every single one of these stocks beat the S&P 500 after I sold. In this video I walk through 10 real positions I sold from my own portfolio, the actual dollar cost of each mistake, and the lesson each one taught me. From panic-selling on headlines (Wells Fargo) to wheeling myself out of $20,000 in JPMorgan gains, these are the kinds of mistakes no financial media outlet will show you — because they're embarrassing. But that's exactly why they're worth sharing. As Pulak Prasad says: "Be lazy. Be VERY lazy." Unless the fundamentals of a business are truly broken, doing absolutely nothing — DRIP turned on, hands off the keyboard — would have beaten the market and made me nearly $48,000 richer. Drop your biggest sell-too-soon story in the comments. You're in good company. [Link to YouTube Video]
