This is why the market is hard , the % down on the investment is affecting your emotions and you simply can't make a rational decision , happened plenty of times myself but I've learnt along the way.

Story telling time:

I've been in the markets ~3 years now figuring it all out on my own. This was one of the first specs I had bought and was very fresh into the game.

That company was RAP, did my research , saw the potential among other things and My price target was 50 cents. I had an average entry of 6.6 cents ( bought from 2.8 cents to 9 cents )

I was ecstatic, it had run to 13.5 cents within a week or so of my lucky timing.
I was up 50 k within a week.

The following week people obviously started taking profits and it was on a heavy decline, my 50k profit went down to 40k , then 30 k, then 20k and then when I was only up roughly 15k I sold , I was terrified.

In that moment I sold with a slight profit( relative to what could of had )

I had forgotten all my research , notes , and price targets , my emotions got control and I felt doomed , I had to sell!!!

once I had sold the stock ran 50 cents and I felt stupid .

I learnt an important lesson that day , detach my ego from my investment and back my research and convictions.

I see this as no different from KPO , solid fundamentals and I'm not selling until the true value is realised , delays suck but I couldn't really care !

Stay strong gentlemen.
