Post #19: Some lessons in patience and letting go

I made a recent blunder, I sold my $BEL for a small profit hoping to find a faster stock.

Guess what? $BEL broke out and made a new 52-week high a day after I sold it.

$BEL broke P4.00 and is looking to stay above it.

Although I felt bad about my latest blunder, I fully understand that no one can perfectly predict what the price is gonna do next. The earlier you realized this, the better.

I didn't kick myself out of that mistake. I know there is no way I could've predicted that breakout happening.

I don't like it when stocks hit a new high then hit it's 2-week low. That's the only reason why I sold $BEL.

I still have cash left and is watching if $BEL is worth another try.

Meanwhile, I bought $MEG at P4.10 average.

My other two stocks are doing much  better, looks like their upward trend is still intact.

I'm up 31% in $MCP and +11% in $IMI.

In port:

$MEG,$MCP,$IMI

3. $IMI

Average: 6.93
Current price: P7.41
Initial stop: P7.00

As long as these three won't break my initial stops, I will still stay long in my positions. Nothing to do now but to just watch my stops and look for opportunity (if there is) to add more positions.

Please take note that my stops are only soft stops. Unlike hard stops, that if broken, I immediately exit a position without any second thoughts; initial stops somehow only triggers my warning signal to watch my stops more carefully.

$MCP (P4.43 up 4.24%)

A breakout  around P4.50 would be interesting if accompanied by a noticeable volume.


Remarks: 

Overall market market still not showing any signs of reversal as investors are still waiting for the U.S election result.

Only a handful of stocks is on my watch-list.
