RE: in every case where I've made 30-40% overnight on a security and not sold, I've regretted it


Trading is tricky business and while I can tell you I have had many similar regrets.... I've made the most of my money "sitting on my hands" on those that went up... and up.... and up.... from pennies to dollars.

>I used to think I was proving myself a "true value investor" for holding out for full value

That's why I like picking stocks (value and non value) with takeover appeal. There is an end game.

The ones that get away. I don't cry over spilled milk. I Go try and pick another winner. A gain is a gain and not a loss. A positive long term investing record is what's most important to me.
