There's always sellers remorse when you have invested a lot of time and energy into a stock, watch it go pretty well, decide to lock in profits for good measure, and good reason, only to see it jump quite a bit higher.

This has happened a few times during my investing career, and I've obviously been on the opposite end of the equation. I've held quite a few stocks going down (you've seen it here) assuming my analysis and market conditions were right, only for the tide to go out, and I've got no shorts on. I'm still holding those turkey's as they're small holdings and I'm waiting for the tide to turn and even add to positions.

So, it's been slightly frustrating watching PDI the past few days, going off on the back of getting the ESIA and some significant new investors. I first bought PDI in 2021 and bought several parcels over time to average 18c. I sold at 30c thinking that was a very nice gain. But, I would have really been happy with another 5c just now. That would have been significant for me.

Having said that, selling all things West African in the last few months has certainly kept my blood pressure down which is a very important consideration.

And, you never lose money making a profit.
