Pardon me for jumping in:

Keep the winners, sell the losers to buy different stocks. Sell parts of the winners should they become such huge winners your portfolio becomes significantly imbalanced. Or should you need the money.

There are big tax advantages to not selling winners, too. Assuming you're trading in a taxable account, not an IRA.

And there are big psychological advantages, too, looking at a portfolio that's only got a bunch of winners in it.

Of course, I don't even follow my own wisdom (down for the year to date, I think). That's panic for ya.
