  • Identifying diworsification where excessive holdings dilute performance
  • A small fund's high fee impacts the total portfolio less than a large fund's fee
  • Calculating the weighted average expense ratio of a portfolio
  • Individual stocks often move in tandem with other companies in the same industry sector
  • The Sell-to-Sleep test uses emotional stress as a proxy for exceeding your actual risk capacity
  • Sector concentration can lead to massive losses if that specific industry faces a downturn
  • Portfolios should be adjusted until the investor no longer feels the urge to panic-sell during volatility
  • Mapping stocks to sectors to find hidden overlaps
  • Paper wealth is an unrealized increase in value that is not taxed until the asset is sold
  • Selling or exchanging an asset 'locks in' the profit and creates a capital gains tax liability
