It is always hard to sell a stock, but it might be even harder for you to sell something that you have had for a considerable time. You might feel as though the stock you had was something you wanted to hold onto for as long as possible. You might have thought it could keep increasing in value. Maybe it might have even been the first stock that you ever invested in.
You can always add long-term stocks to your portfolio, but that does not mean you should continue to hold those stocks forever. You have to ignore the emotional aspects that come with having a stock. Such emotions might be a burden to you as you struggle to keep your investments positive.
