Hi Paul Senior - No I am not a teenager but what I was saying is I was able to purchase my small amount of TXU a few years back when it was around 19. For me, selling is one of the most difficult decisions. I have a tendency to buy and hold (something my father taught me). So, when I do have a profit, I like to at least hedge a portion so I lock it in. What I do find from many investors is once they sell, they must (or want to) put their money into something else immediately. Sometimes its good to hold onto your cash and wait for a buying opportunity later. I am in my late forties. Just had my birthday last week. I starting investing at age 15 with monies from my paper route. I have been managing my portfolios full time for the last 10 years. I continue to study the market and learn new things every day. I have been most successful with the value approach in finding investment opportunities. A lot of your work is right on in the way you select equities. When you do sell, please explain more of your reasons as to how your arrive at this decision. To develop a good exit strategy on an investment is probably one of the most difficult decisions. EKS
