About this episode

Michelle Martin discusses the psychology of selling stocks with Chin Hui Leong, emphasizing the importance of personal goals in investing.

What if walking away from millions is actually the smartest move you’ll ever make? Michelle Martin sits down with Chin Hui Leong, Co-founder of The Smart Investor, to unpack the psychology of selling stocks - and why profits locked in are never a failure. From the painful “could have been” to the discipline of knowing when enough is enough, this episode reframes what success really looks like in investing. We explore how to decide when to sell - even if a company is still performing - and why your personal goals matter more than market narratives. For new investors, Hui Leong shares how to build conviction, when to move beyond ETFs, and why patience must be balanced with action. It’s a conversation about clarity, not regret - hosted by Michelle Martin. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
