The Emotion Of Holding To Stocks and Property

Investors tend to hold on to their properties far longer than holding on to stocks.

We often hear success stories of investors holding on to their property long enough to sell them off at 1XX% of capital gain.

But we seldom hear investors holding on to their stocks and giving their stocks chance to become multi-baggers stocks.

For example, I believe at Mar 09 low there were many investors might have caught some solid blue chips with high dividend yield of 8-10%; but didn't really hold on to them to become multi-baggers.

It is very emotional to hold on to fast rising stocks.

I am likely to hold on to the two longest dividend and pillow stocks: Keppel Corp (2001) and Semb Corp (2002) for a few more years:
