reaanalyze the emotions that led me to...
Excellent point.
Even that however is not that easy. For example: most of us really do analyze, consider, work out, plan how to make money in the market. We usually have a stated reason for buying what we buy or selling what we sell. But emotional attitudes may have colored how we reasoned. And I'm not sure this is necessarily evident.

I guess for me, having ridden some very successful stock picks up and then down again, I've decided if I have gains from now on I want to keep them. In the past if I saw a stock losing momentum I just assumed it woudl get it back sometime. Now (if I get the opportunity again) I will not assume anything other than I want to cash out while in a plus position.
At least I hope that is what I will do!
