The time value of money is the hardest thing for me to get across to people ... every time you tie up a buck in a stock that is going nowhere *right now* is an opportunity lost to make money elsewhere. Its gotten to the point where if I put money into something and it doesn't move into a decent profit within a week, I kill the trade. If it stalls for too long, I kill the trade. I have come to get great satisfaction from selling, whether it is at profit or not -- I guess it makes me feel decisive, and with the low brokerage rates I'm paying ($10/trade regardless of size), it doesn't matter if I subsequently decide to jump back in. No longer do I let these "companies" have my money for free indefinitely.
