Rockfeller once said "I became rich because I sold too early".
And he was right.
I always lost money because I failed to sell on time.
Conservative investors would sell after they make 10~12 % even when they are convinced it will go higher.
It's not sexy but it's the safest way to win and like it or not, a proven rule.
More agressive traders/investors will sell for 15~20%.
But they take more risks already.
Long term and very long term and very patient investors (we are talking about 10~20 years here) will eventualy sell (if they ever sell) for a gain ranging from 10 to 500%.
Just see what's your profile.
Just one advice, never look back at a stock you sold. Forget it for 3 months.
Like that you will never regret to sell a stock just before it gained 20% in a couple of days.
