Dale - Have you calculated your annual portfolio "turnover" rate? I find this useful as I tend to hold onto my winners too long and setting a 33% annual turn over rate forces me to look at new buys (possibly in different undervalued sectors). I typically want to hold a stock no more than 3 years. I do however have many that I have owned for 10 or more years. These tend to be good dividend payers that own hard assets (in-the-ground) and have performed well over the long term (> 10 years). EKS
