Jason and Jeff pull back the curtain on their Savvy Trader portfolio to examine the core mechanics of long-term portfolio construction. Using real-world examples from their own holdings, the hosts debate the discipline required to let a multi-bagger winner run versus the psychological battle of confronting a 70% drawdown. They tackle the dangerous allure of the sunk-cost fallacy, evaluate whether high-growth portfolios actually benefit from defensive "ballast" stocks, and break down how position sizing can keep single-stock blowups from derailing your long-term compounding.
