Dont cry. Just change your ways and learn to HOLD. I did.

Ron-

I feel your pain. I bought DELL during the October crash and sold two weeks later for a $5K profit and was so HAPPY. Until, I realized what I would have made if I had held. I thought I could time the market and move in and out. Well, the only thing I have to show for all my trading is a sizable gain (much less than I would have had HOLDING), a helluva lot of capital gains taxes, and a tax return the size of a Tom Wolfe novel. I learned my lesson and plan only to BUY Dell, adding to my position, and never SELL. I got 25 years until I can retire, so what it the use of worrying about daily moves.

I am convinced that luck is just as important as good investing habits. I planned to sell some Dell in 1996, use it for home improvement. Just about then it took a little dip so I held off, then my brother in law needed a quick loan, didn't want to sell the stock just then, then my brother in law didn't need the money but we already got a loan from the credit union, so we had the money we needed on hand and I didn't sell the Dell after all.
