description: "I bought $DBS(D05.SG) at S$57.51 on 7 April 2026. At the time, I was comfortable holding the stock, but I noticed that the share price was fluctuating after my purchase. As the price moved around, I became concerned that the gains might reverse, so I decided to take profit rather than continue holding.I sold my DBS shares at S$59.00 on 7 May 2026, making a small profit of around S$1.49 per shareInitially, I felt that selling at a profit was a reasonable decision. However, I later regretted the decision because DBS continued to rise after I sold. The share price moved above S$77 as of now, meaning I exited before a further upward move.The biggest lesson for me was that short-term price fluctuations do not necessarily mean that I should exit a stock when my original investment thesis has not changed.Looking back, I focused too much on the price movements between my entry and exit points and became too eager to lock in a small profit. Instead of reacting to every fluctuation, I could have considered whether the underlying fundamentals and my original reasons for buying DBS were still intact."

- **Captain Leo · 2026-09-29T11:11:03.000Z · 👍 1**: Takes something to be open about a full DBS round trip, S$57.51 in and S$59 out, when most people only post the wins. Asking whether the reason for owning still holds before acting on a wobble is a habit anyone here can borrow.
- **NgKimSeng16 · 2026-09-29T09:08:18.000Z · 👍 1**: But it’s uncertainties ma. I also have a fund (income fund) that I invested in but it’s going on -800sgd now and the longer I hold the more I lose.
- **Big_Angel · 2026-09-29T06:09:39.000Z · 👍 2**: the regret is about the exit rule rather than the price, if the thesis had not changed then a small profit was never the reason to sell.
