I have found that my emotional response to price action is nearly always wrong. My successful investments have been successful because I knew why I bought the stock, and therefore I knew why I should sell the stock. My unsuccessful investments were based on either inadequate information (not knowing enough about the company or how to value it) or emotion (gee, it's a bit expensive, but it's going up, so I'll jump on). Remember: not investing in a stock that doubles is not a problem. Investing in a stock that halves is a big problem. Steve
