I generally put the losing stocks I sell on my watch list and review their subsequent performance
1) to see if the reason for selling was valid
2) to see if I was vindicated in exiting the position
3) to see if I'll ever find the stock so attractively low vs its current value or the company's current business conditions, that I might want to reenter.

I only haphazardly follow the stocks of winners after I've closed out the position.

Biggest changes I've made in past few years are portfolio/allocation related:
1. Reducing margin substantially.
2. Keeping sizeable cash reserves.
3. Moving into preferred stocks/bond funds/mlps/etf's for distribution yield
4. Making smaller $ buys with initial positions.
5. Concentrating on oil/oil service stocks. Evaluating e&p juniors differently from other businesses. Namely, using p/cash flow, p/flow bopd, price 2pnav10, et. al.

I've made no change elsewhere in valuation techniques. Using my same metrics and yardsticks.

We know EKS's big change or one of them is reducing holding period. I'm quicker to take sell too. I still want to hold on for full/fair value as I see it, but fear of market volatility gets me sometimes. So my turnover has increased and holding period has been reduced. What are you guys' changes that you've made over the past few years?
