I can't cry over spilled milk. I know I've sold to early on some. RE: STAA The profit doesn't count until you book it. I have been selling into the market strength and it's been a very good year. I have some unrealized losses in some companies. I've booked an offset already. A couple other large ones witch I will take (Offset) this year since I've booked gains. OTOH I still have some increasing unrealized gains to see how high this market goes. It's when the market turns bad is generally when you wished you booked earlier. P.S. I do practice my investment Philosophy. The mistakes can be attributed to this. >A mind can work like a internal combustion engine. You just never know how it will preform daily. :+ ) >Allocation is key to when you have confidence in your timing. Self confidence is key when your going long buying a group that's weak, with near term poor prospects. Portfolio diversification is for your mistakes. Tax loss selling is for your loss of confidence. >Spotting and knowing a trend is knowing what compiled in the past. Applying what we know technically and fundamentally, helps when investing. The weight we give each is determined by are own style. Style is determined by are beliefs. >Enjoy sunny days for they can easily be humbled >The game when picking common stocks. IMO-In the long run. It's better to pick through research & reading, than throwing a blind dart. Once the targets are found. It's the timed in and out resourceful allocation follow up, that keeps you in the repetitive stroke. Most anyone can hit a blind target more than once. Accuracy comes from time and experience. Consistent accuracy will leave you the option of quitting while your ahead >Market uncertainty keeps your predictability in check.
