Once I have a profit, in anything, it's Mine! Mine! Mine! And I don't like losing what's mine. OTOH, I'm convinced the biggest mistake investors make is selling quality stocks anytime they're up a few cents. (yet they hold losers forever!)

I see you now own Chevron. Probably a good more. Chevron came out of Standard Oil long, long ago. Guess what Standard Oil sold for in 1903? $738 a share
And it was probably the best thing your great grandfather could have brought back then. A 116 years of splits, spinoffs and fat divs.
