Jenna-thoughts on when to sell? This is my toughest issue. I find it easy to have the discipline to limit losses. I also try to set 5-15% target prices and then the question is do I take the money and run or let it ride. I have sold early a lot and missed runs. What makes you hold an NDB for 60% over two-three days? At 25-30% I start to feel real greedy. I know that the basic principle is momentum--if it's there why sell. But momentum can change so fast, I feel a need to pocket the gain...sometimes that turns out to be sooo smart---sometimes sooo dumb. Having trouble telling them apart in advance. Have done very well as a Gemmer, I must admit, but know I could be doing so much better! TIA for your help! Jim
