Explanation

The strategy of switching from poor performers to good performers helps maximize long-term returns by ensuring capital is deployed in better-performing investments. This involves regularly reviewing the portfolio, identifying underperforming assets, and redirecting that capital to investments with stronger performance potential, rather than passively holding all investments indefinitely.
