Post body

So my first tranche of UNH shares just hit the one year mark and I am up 50% and the hardest part like always at least for me is knowing when to take profits. I have 5 batches I bought as it was falling just about a year ago. Normally I am a long term buy and hold value investor but never seem to get the taking profits part right. If I am being honest I am happy with a 50% pop since I figured it would take a few years not one to make that. I try to always keep it simple and not over analyze my investments but I felt that this was oversold at the time.
