Arky, I have a tendency that is the same as you, holding on to losers waiting for a better time. But there are 2 reasons that we shouldn't do this. First, we could use the money we get from selling these and switching to another investment that has better upward potential in the near future. Second, we could book tax losses to be used to offset gains we make on other investments. Food for thought.
