One of the hardest parts for me in shares is actually when to sell out or buy in.
I and most other players usually have 8 out 10 stocks which are great stocks. My mistakes are the entry and exit points that i choose to get in and out of.
FMG is a good example.
So hard though to know when at what time and price.
History for me has shown the majority all will come back but just a matter of time. At the same time i miss the up and down retraces that you feed off in the mean time.
Typical example for me is that i might sell say 20ks worth of stock today as it has had a good run and i can make say an easy 2 to 3k over a period of a week or month. The next day or two after i sell it will go up another say 10% to 15% again.
So i did ok, but as per usual i could have done better.
Good luck to ya.
