Knowing when to get out.  I have made over $2 million but didn't sell when  I should have, thinking the stock would continue to rise or hold its gain.  The fear of selling too early and missing out on gains has been my struggle with the stock market and cost me greatly.
Will I eventually recoup my loss? Yes, but I sacrificed time and missed taking a profit to invest in other stocks or reinvest at a lower price that would have tripled my gain.  Lesson learned? We shall see.

1) buying low ,selling high and willing to wait.
2) finding the right stocks, finding the right time to enter and gotten the right time to exit.
3) having too many stocks in one basket and too many different stocks - limiting your chance of re-entering to buy more.
4) effective use of funds for maximum profits
5) need to be disciplined to watch the stocks diligently.
6) knowing when to cut loss, in order to reserve your assets for re-entering!
