    That’s the best advice I’ve heard. If you can afford it by a little bit of every set, I’d rather have a couple duds and take a 10% loss than miss the ones that you don’t expect to go up and gain 100%.

    Think paradox rift is the most undervalued set rn in sve temporal somewhat as well but for sure paradox even with the run up to 120

    Interesting strategy to move out of lower performing S&V sets. You may be better at predicting appreciation than I but I’m a buy/hold my positions. However, for example, not many predicted Fusion Strike would have the run up it has. Great example of how I didn’t guess right. Keep up the great content.

      People probably didn’t predict this run up from FS, but it was pretty obvious even a year ago that ES/LO/CR/FS were much better than sets like Vivid Voltage, Battle Styles, and Darkness Ablaze.
      Although it’ll all move up with time, the dead weight is probably better served in the top sets.

    Definitely learned through your videos and other peoples that just because a sealed product or card is stagnant or going down slightly doesn’t mean it’s not a hold. Product goes down after booms but it tends to set higher floors.

    • @PokeProfit
      @PokeProfit  Місяць тому +3

      It’s just like stocks, if you miss the 10-20 best trading days of the year, you’re going to miss out on the vast majority of the returns.

    My firts BB i bought was EVS, back in end 2022. Bought it for 120 euros, had 3 months delay and sold it for 240. Back then I didnt know anything about poke-investing. Learnd a LOT from that one box :D. Grateful to have had it in possession

    Very mature take man, think so many are quick to tell people to just keep buying up product and never selling or knowing when to take an L

    Awesome video. I know you haven't taken gains, but when you do, how will you pick which item to liquidate and which one to keep your money tied up in? Looking forward to more vids!

    • @PokeProfit

      Take profits from everything eventually. Some things that I think have more room to run I will hold longer than others.

    Just to clarify have you actually sold anything or does this refer to products you’ve bought going up $30k in value?

    • @PokeProfit

      Unrealized gains.

    • @pokelytics4352
      @pokelytics4352 Місяць тому +2

      @ gotcha. Keep in mind fees aren’t on just the profit, they are on the entire cost of the item. So for example, if you have 100k of stuff that you profited 30k on really, at 12% fees that 30k becomes 18k (not 26k). Just important context for this video IMO.

    • @PokeProfit
      @PokeProfit  Місяць тому +1

      @@pokelytics4352 My portfolio consists of everything I own, including a lot of product that hasn't had time to appreciate at all.
      90-95% of those gains (too lazy to do the exact math since not relevant) have come from only $20-25k of investments.
      Your numbers incorrectly assume I'd be selling everything.

    • @pokelytics4352
      @pokelytics4352 Місяць тому +2

      @ okay well then by that math it means you’d be selling roughly 50k of stuff, so the fees are on the 50k total. Not just the profit. That’s my point. I think it’s just helpful context for people trying to make decisions about when to sell.

    Debating if i should continue pursuing sleeved packs of fusion and lost origin, dont want to sit here next year saying "I wish i bought more since theyve doubled since"...which happened with evolving skies packs
    For evolving skies, $1000+ is a lot, but booster packs are still "affordable" just expensive. What if we're sitting here at the end of 2025 with packs at $35+, everyone's going to slap themselves again for missing out like they did in 2023 and 2024.

      It’s not a bad idea if you can find a good deal on them. I bought Team Up sleeved packs last year for around $60 CAD, they now go in the $100-110 range
