It is smart to be slow with the sell trigger. It's an interesting game of what if. I've rode some blue chip stocks to zero. Held CSCO and INTC for ten years. Sold and ten more years later I would still be way down. What if I had bought any of the FANG stocks with that money? I bought JNJ and XEL instead. One in 1000 troubled stocks become life changing. Fortunately you can do OK without any 100 baggers. You just need to get it mostly right.
