three truths. that is enough.

On The Matter Of Holding.

the first truth

every bag was bought with conviction. the conviction is the most honest part of the trade.

— filed 2023
the second truth

the cost basis is not the most important number. the most important number is how you feel about the cost basis.

— filed 2024
the third truth

he is not waiting for recovery. he is waiting for the next one. that is the same thing.

he would not like to be called brave.

the man himself.

nobody knows where he found the first bag. he wore a better coat then. the coat is older now and so is he, and the sack is heavier, and the paper tags pinned to it are yellow at the edges where the glue has gone dry.

he carries them because he bought them. that is the whole story. if you ask him about recovery he will tilt his head and look at you with the kind of patience that has stopped being sad and started being furniture.

The Five Rules Of Holding.

  1. never check before 10am.
  2. never tell your partner the exact number.
  3. the chart is weather, not geography.
  4. if you're reading this, you are one of us.
  5. don't sell. ever. the bags get heavy but he's used to it.
where the bags go to rest.

The Ledger Room.

a wide oil-painting scene of an endless Victorian ledger room at night, floor-to-ceiling wooden shelves stacked with thousands of tagged canvas sacks, warm amber oil lamps on iron stands casting pools of light, a small figure walking slowly away down the long aisle with a sack over his shoulder
"every bag is filed. none is forgotten. some shelves are for waiting. all shelves are for holding."
— from the house ledger
he walks the aisle at night. he does it so you don't have to.
give him something to hold.

nothing here is financial advice. the only advice here is: don't tell him about your losses, he already knows.

we are not a recovery play. we are a memorial to every coin that was supposed to be the one. he holds them for us. we hold him. the sack gets heavier. we stay. — BAGHOLDER · est. the day after
