How's your buy and sell timing?

As long as you buy above average companies, not selling is a winning strategy.  Personally, my biggest sell errors are when a stock gets crushed.  I patiently hold 5-10 years and when it finally recovers and gives me a decent gain, I become thankful to get out.  Often those are the stocks that double again in just a few years because I bailed after they righted the ship.  MSFT comes to mind.
