• Look at Opportunity Cost as  money is limited.
• Valuations that have been extended- If a company's market cap is low in comparison to the potential for growth, a high P/E ratio is irrelevant.
• The bull sector is losing favor. - It is not necessary to buy at the bottom or sell at the top in order to make money. However, if a person is stuck in the fall, it is preferable to fall with the leader rather than with a laggard.
• Changes to the original thesis - Changes in fundamentals, ineffective management, or government policy.
• Business in general is slowing.
• It is not advisable to look at the price of a stock after it has been sold because it may have an emotional impact on you.
