renever really confident they had an accurate value of long term view You said a mouthful. Have you noticed how easy it is to hold through a decline a stock you are (almost)sure is a strong company whose value will shortly return, but how hard it is to hold through when a company you are unsure of...perhaps bought on momentum or because of some short term good news... Perhaps some of these people who start being afraid when a stock they own is rising strongly were unsure of their prowess in choosing investments,and thus suspicious of too strong a showing. Freeus I am more afraid when things I own go down then when they go up, personally. LOL

this might mean they really never were really confident they had an accurate value Hear, Hear, Not all stocks that have great returns are profiled as Kings or Gorillas. It is increasingly difficult to get discussion nor information on them. I've let go of a few because they doubled and I wasn't sure why. It used to be easier to follow some rules of thumb ("Let your winners ride, etc) before all of this G&K talk. Now if I can't figure out how a company is positioned in this framework I'm not sure what to do with them. It's working out, but I'm starting to feel paranoid about group think the way many are paranoid about high P/Es. TP (Who hasn't crossed the investing chasm yet)
