hey, 2nd bit first ...... we each have different masters and i often find the devil is in the detail (but often we do not know the details of others). and on that it will be some time before i again have the luxury of worrying about cgt implications on a parcel trade
(not from trading i am pleased to say)
on the 1st, by holding on i meant it is easy when going up. it is when a stock stops going up that i find it tricky - does not matter if i have held for 3 days or 3 years - i put a lot of effort into tracking inflection points on my charts to retain profits - and it really hurts my head.
cheers
