Case 2
When applying Security Analysis, choose a real decision and test whether you can demand a margin of safety. Record evidence, action, and outcome to avoid hindsight rationalization.
Case 3
When applying Security Analysis, choose a real decision and test whether you can prioritize avoiding permanent loss. Record evidence, action, and outcome to avoid hindsight rationalization.
Case 4
When applying Security Analysis, choose a real decision and test whether you can wait for price and quality to align. Record evidence, action, and outcome to avoid hindsight rationalization.
