I have sold too early and many times have missed a doubling (or more) from where I sold. I can only second that. i sold way way to early this year and have given away large potential gains. Well so be it. I have played for 20-30% gains in 2000 and 2001 and made money these years instead of getting my head handed over to me.

"Message #17358 from TimbaBear at Jul 5, 2003 11:13 AM Steve168 Congratulations on your success and I wish you many more years of similar returns" TimbaBear, Thank you for the kind words and best wishes! I have enjoyed your previous posts here and such kind of posts make Value Investing a great thread for us! Selling too soon is a typical problem we all have to face everyday. I have no great answer to it. I sold so many times too early in the past, including sold some SINA at $4 when it broke to a new 52-week high. But I did hold core position in SINA and only started unloading lately. I found the most rewarding time for value investors is after buying a deeply undervalued stock, it turned out to be a "growth star". There is uncertainty in the process so taking some profit is prudent.
