Bob Rudd, nice post on your analysis of your "sold-too-soons". I believe I'm in a similar situation. Haven't looked at it factually as you've done with your portfolio(s), but it seems my sells mostly continue to move up after I'm out, more so than my holds. I almost expect now that most of these sold stocks will move up after I sell 'em. Painful though after I've held for quite a while at a loss before giving up on them. And when my sells - winners or losers - go on to double. Lose money, and feel like I made an error in underestimating fair or intrinsic value.

Making partial sales as a stock moves up relieves some of the anguish for me.
