EKS. When I sell 'em, I put them on my watch list, if I sell out completely and at once. I generally don't buy them back though. I often lose interest or get side-tracked or something. I usually do keep a stub position though, and that keeps me from getting antsy that the stock might retrace (move up) without me. I also hold on to losing positions too long, and don't cut back, and that has hurt me. I'm not sure what/where my biggest mistakes are. I reaffirm my opinion though of about five years ago that my biggest regrets are failure to buy, not buying enough shares (lack of courage), and not adding to position as a theme worked out (lack of confidence).
