In this video, I break down a practical, step-by-step recovery framework for when a position goes underwater, starting with the critical diagnostic question: has the underlying business fundamentally changed, or is it just a macro market pullback? We’ll explore how to calculate your true effective cost basis, how to patiently chip away at unrealized losses with properly structured covered calls, and when it makes sense to cut ties and redeploy capital rather than grinding away on a broken asset.
