holding your parcel long term, page-16

Thanks everyone, some great advice in there.

The biggest thing I've learned is probably to walk away from the computer if I'm in a stock long term and I believe in the assets. Would anyone agree with that?

Also, I think putting naysayers on ignore really helps. Often it only takes one naysayer with a good enough reason to sell to actually make me sell. Now I just stick em on ignore. Might sound stupid, but sometimes I even put people who are right on ignore who are saying there's a fundamental flaw in the stock - if I think it's going higher regardless.

Off topic but I was actually just cleaning out my desk and found two A4 pages of writing on SIR before they made the discovery. It was one of my top 5 small exploration companies about 2 years ago. I had written all the usual things like management seem really good, grades seem good, stock seems to be getting good news but is being held back by a persistant seller.

Can't claim it as I'm constantly writing little watch lists over the years, but it just made me stop dead in my tracks and have a little chuckle.


If only I'd just grabbed a small parcel :D

But hey, there are a 100 that don't make it for that one that does so...
