["Macro" Musings]

This is a really strange way to look at it… It is as if, instead of thinking how to use the new free cash my businesses generate, I would be constantly looking for someone who might be willing to buy those businesses from me… Yes, I might consider to sell a business… but only if it becomes extremely overvalued! This certainly doesn’t mean that I am going to put all the free cash generated by that business back into it! This is clear, isn’t it? I have never done so, and I will never do it… yet, I don’t sell my businesses!

Exactly like it is for my businesses, also for a stock that I bought at BV and that can compound at high rates for many years into the future, I am willing to stick with that business through all the ups and downs. (Unless, of course, it becomes extremely overvalued!) This doesn’t mean I will add to my holdings on the ups… right?

I agree with you and Eric on this one, but what is extremly overvalued in your eyes? I currently would sell my "premium" holdings like KO or JNJ at 50% overvaluation, but i am not sure if this is too low. And i want to think about that before it happens, because i know that i would trick myself when that limit is reached and i am not prepared.
