Profit and loss booking are part of the game. If a stock meets our sell criteria, we will exit it. Despite our best efforts to select good portfolio stocks, some of them will not perform on the expected lines. Therefore, it is important to cut the losses early before they get big. One should always look at overall portfolio results and not how individual stocks are doing.
