The market always gives you a reason that sounds perfectly rational to sell.
A recession is coming. Valuations are stretched. The Fed is tightening. Geopolitical risk is rising. Earnings are slowing.
Every single one of these has been true at some point during every long-term bull market.
The hard part isn't finding reasons to sell. The hard part is knowing which reasons actually matter, and which are just noise that will fade in six months.
Most of the time, the smart-sounding reason to sell is just an excuse to act on fear.
