Been there, seen that and worse: done that too! Mine is a case of dualities (1) I tend to stick on to some counters with conviction and not book profits ever and even struggle with tthe thought of making profits there. This helped in counters like $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ but the same inertia cost me dear in dud counters like $Trump Media & Technology(DJT)$ and ended up holding a bum for ever.
The classic feeling of: "what if it goes 10x & I miss the run?" has made me hold & watch green turn red. (2) in some other good counters like $Micron Technology(MU)$, I have made gains but exited too early.
Therefore now I am trying to follow a simple rule I made for myself: keep making partial exits to lock in profits from time to time & reenter later at a dip, which is very much possible at regular intervals given trump's tantrums.
There still are moments of regret but at least I have the happiness of seeing the portfolio in green & money in the bank more often.
