As I discussed in the mindful bucket plan for «old» investors in Article 8.4, one of the best ways to guard your portfolio early in the
withdrawal phase is to have a bucket of cash handy to invest
after market crashes.
Among the patients who did continue on the study
after withdrawing from the psychoeducation group, the reasons for abandoning it were manic recurrence (7 patients), problems with the group time table (2 patients found a new job during the treatment
phase and could not continue coming to the sessions), consent
withdrawal or nonacceptance of the group rules (1 patient), interpersonal problems with other group members (1 patient), and depressive recurrence (1 case).
