it's funny, i've never seemed to be bothered as much by a stock i own going down, as by a stock skyrocketing after i've sold it....wonder what a psychologist would say about that?-----cantjustread

Think of it this way:

The small amount of money (relative) that you have invested is possible to earn and save!

The missed oportunity is usually a larger amount, that you know you are not capable of earning and saving.

That remorse is what bugs us when we watch a strock we've sold do well
