TechnoFunda Investing Quote from Legends -
Warren Buffett’s quote, "Time is the friend of the wonderful business, the enemy of the mediocre," highlights the power of compounding and business quality over the long term. A wonderful business — one with strong fundamentals, competitive advantages, and consistent growth — becomes even more valuable as time passes, rewarding patient investors with expanding profits and wealth. On the other hand, a mediocre business struggles to grow or maintain its position, and over time, its weaknesses get exposed, often leading to stagnation or decline. In investing, time magnifies the gap between good and bad businesses.
📚 Book I'm Reading This Week

The Hidden Cost of Holding On – Why Knowing When to Exit is a Superpower in Investing
In investing, we often focus heavily on what to buy and when to buy.
But rarely do we spend enough time asking:
👉 "When should I let go?"
Holding onto a poor investment comes at a much higher cost than just the unrealized loss.
It silently eats away at your capital, your future returns, and your mental bandwidth.
Let’s understand why letting go — even when it's hard — is one of the most powerful decisions you can make as an investor.
🔎 The True Costs of Holding On Too Long
🔹 Opportunity Cost:
Money stuck in a stagnating or declining stock could have been invested in better opportunities.
Every day you hold a poor performer, you lose the chance to ride a stronger trend somewhere else.
🔹 Time Cost:
Compounding needs time.
The longer your capital is tied up in a non-performing asset, the more you delay the wealth-creation journey.
🔹 Mental Cost:
Dead stocks drain emotional energy.
Constantly worrying about “when it will recover” prevents you from thinking objectively and acting decisively elsewhere.
🔹 Anchoring Bias:
Holding onto a loser often comes from the mental trap of wanting to "get back to your buy price," instead of reassessing whether the business still deserves your trust and capital.
🔹 Lost Compounding Potential:
Imagine keeping ₹1 lakh stuck in a stock that returns 0% over 5 years, while another opportunity compounded at 15%.
The cost isn’t zero. It’s a loss of over ₹1 lakh in missed gains.
🛑 Common Reasons We Hold Onto Bad Investments
- “It’s just a paper loss. I haven’t really lost anything yet.”
- “It’s bound to recover someday.”
- “Selling now would mean admitting I was wrong.”
- “What if it bounces back after I sell?”
These emotions are real — but acting on them can be financially devastating.
📈 A Smarter Way to Think About It
✅ Always ask yourself:
“If I had cash instead of this stock today, would I buy it again?”
If the answer is no, it’s a strong signal that you should exit.
✅ Remember:
Selling a bad stock is not a failure.
It’s an active choice to protect and grow your future wealth.
✅ Good investors are not attached to their past decisions.
They focus on what will make them wealthier tomorrow, not on recovering yesterday’s mistakes.
💬 Key Takeaway
Investing isn't just about riding winners — it’s equally about cutting losers quickly.
Capital preservation and emotional discipline are the bedrock of long-term success.
“You don’t have to recover your losses from the same place you lost them.”
Letting go is not a weakness.
It’s the strength of thinking forward, not backward.
