Its Over, page-308

Obviously the earlier exits on PME and MYE now proved to be incorrect , but it is never wrong to take profits!
Still overall returns improved to 10.67% despite an uncertain trading environment and is 3.8% better off than if none of the positions were closed.
It is always difficult to gauge market behaviour in advance but being a step ahead helps save a lot of dollars. You can sell ahead in anticipation of a fall/correction or you can sell when the first sign of smoke appears, the earlier scenario may cost you if you anticipated incorrectly and Dow continues to climb a wall of worries and the latter scenario may cost you if you choose the wrong stock to get out or you don't get back in when it got down lower. For most people, they do nothing until it gets so bad that they reconcile feeling that it has become too late to sell, and they do nothing because making a sell decision is always hard (much harder than a buy decision). You may also think that you are a long term investor and not a trader but that's fine if you are buying a CSL, not so if you buying a specky microcap stock - they can be" hero to zero ".
