It’s always good to analyze your trades. Did you win, lose, or breakeven? How was your timing? What reasons did you have for selling? What did the stock(s) do after you sold them?
In my case, I sold too early on Monday. After walking away with a 21% return in 2 weeks, I now come to find that the stocks I sold are up another 10%+.
Upon thinking about it, I should have sold part of the position or just the “laggards”. As it turns out, I’m missing out on AINV +15%, ACAS +18%, CENX +8% and LDK +7% today. Selling these was a mistake, brought on by my prejudice that these were “penny stocks” that had their run and would be sold off imminently.
But, my biggest regret is selling AINV. That is going nowhere but up. Mark my words. I will look to buy it back on a healthy pullback (assuming we get one).
