WHEN TO SELL? You know what really works??? BUY SOMETHING with your profits just once. Something you really want, something tangible, or better still, a gift for a loved one (like a ring, or a trip to Hawaii for your parents, or something your kid wants). You decide on what you want to buy (for yourself or someone), then sell some of your shares, taking profit, and withdrawing the money. You must withdraw the cash from your account. Then go do the gift buying ...
THEN you will see that a) it was real money that you made in the market (not just paper), b) that your profit can make a tangible difference in your life or someone else's life, and c) it will help solve your 'greed' and/or your 'when do I sell, oops, I held it too long and lost it all' problem
Try it once, it will change your thinking forever IMHO (ESPECIALLY if you use your money as a gift to someone else!)
