Some good points X. At the end of day, so long as my portfolio balance in black, okay to carry couple that maybe in the red waiting for recovery. My experience with the market is there can be a paralysis of anaylsis, people trying to treat the market as a science when at the end of the day you can do all the research but degree of luck always involved. Some of my best gains have been on limited, sometimes flimsy research. What I have learnt particularly is to have a long term view and be patient. Oh, also, in times like the blood bath in January with this long term view in mind......I just don't look at my portfolio until a recovery - out of sight, out of mind. Works wonders for the anxiety levels!
