I totally agree with your post and your judgment about my holdings is absolutely right. My bad luck, yes, I am and was holding every ticker too long, very bad marriage with every ticker. One shouldn't marry a stock. I held on too long and thus bigger losses. I am changing my strategy as you suggest. I have made my resolution of new year to minimize losses and move on. I never learned to take losses and was wrong that every trade will get me some gains. But now, I already started to get rid of my bad choices and take losses and look for quality tickers and set goals of taking some profit rather than hanging around and dream about bigger jackpot. I am going to learn from my mistakes. Thank you for sharing your experience.
