One thing that I do, and also struggle with, is the concept of selling half my position once I make double my money in a stock. I've never seen this addressed. The good part is I get my original money out of the market, reducing my risk to zero, the bad part is I could miss out on some terrific gains. Any comment would be appreciated.

It should be about how to arrive at a conservative intrinsic value range for safe investments (low debt and no need to raise funds) buying at a discount to that range and how to continue to buy as the price falls farther below your valuation. It is "Investment U" not 'trader u', or has there been a take-over?! Did you think to write the sister piece “Why Great INVESTORS Average Down, Not Up”?

What is the allocation used if one were to just be starting now? I am recently retired if that makes a difference.
