Stock I bought last Friday 4/22

I posted my Watch List for last week and from 4 stocks I had on my list I picked CCL - Carnival Corporation.

CCL - Carnival Corporation yields only 2.89% but for more than 15 years and this is a well known company.

I like the fact that at this moment this stock is trading below analyst predictions.

I also was going to buy RGR, but on Friday this stock went up by 2 dollars.

Sell or not to Sell?

Okay, we all have stocks which are not doing well and stocks which are doing very well.

As I wrote before, for me it's always very hard to pull this trigger and sell my winner...

I know that lots of dividend stock investors think that we need to buy and keep stocks forever.

But observing my dividends stocks coming through ups and downs I still feel like I do need to sell my winners.

Like for example. I remember how just not long time ago my shares of KMI were $600 up and running strong. I was thinking to sell but got greedy.

Another recent example is FTR -  went down to $3 in 2014, then up to $8 in 2015 and then down to $3 and now it's up to $5 again.

I did sold some of my stocks but usually right after I sell they would go up and then I would feel like oh, yeah, I could just keep them.

So my boyfriend suggested me an interesting idea - to sell only part of my stock total, which equal to the gain and keep initial amount I invested. This way if stock would go down, I already got some earnings out, if stock would go up, I would not feel as bad as if I sold all of shares. 

I really like this idea and I might try to use it.
