We obsess over what to buy, but when it’s time to sell—or hold—we often freeze. Market volatility shouldn't trigger a panic-induced sell-off, yet emotion frequently overrides strategy. In this episode of Money Hacks, Howie Lim, Ritesh Ganeriwal, and Kenneth Chan dissect the crucial "portfolio check-in."

Learn how to filter signal from noise, why "doing nothing" is a strategic superpower, and exactly when your original plan needs a tune-up. Stop guessing and start managing.

01:00 Mastering the when as well as what

05:33 How to know when our portfolio needs a tune up

09:42 When doing nothing is ok
