How Do You Know When It's The Right Time To Sell

If you bought a stock for a trade (technical reasons) and it goes against you and you find yourself doing any of the things below, then you've been had.

• Visiting Yahoo Finance searching for news on the stock.
• Typing the $SYMBOL on the StockTwits or Twitter search bar.
• Reading the latest 10Q, 8k, etc.
• Checking seeking alpha.
• Adjusting the trendlines that were already drawn.
• Figuring out your cost basis if you buy additional shares.
• Zooming out to the weekly and monthly chart.
• Daydreaming about that one stock that you held after it when through your stop and made you whole a few weeks later, could it be Deja Vu all over again.
• You suddenly have an interest in value investing, and you convince yourself that the stock is too cheap to sell at a loss, but if it gets back to breakeven you'll get rid of it because then it will be fully valued.
• You decide to write a covered call so you can bring in some income while you wait for the street to finally realize the value that you see in the company.
