Investors, have you ever sold a position too early, or conversely, too late? If so, which stock was it?
I try to sell as little as possible and hold stocks for several years, but I remember, for example, $CVS or $MMM, which I sold because of various problems and lawsuits. A few months later they rose by several tens of percent. Timing isn't always right, but that's just part of investing.

I get that you sold $MMM, I was tempted too. Right now, though, I feel like getting rid of it for a pretty solid profit :D.
No, that has never happened to me. I have a private crystal ball, and I sell stocks exclusively at their all-time highs, just before a correction.
I sold my shares of $GLW too early — I did make a profit, but it was too soon. And yes, that's part of investing. Timing the perfect moment isn't an easy task for every stock.
