Don't go on a path to sell destruction.

Motley Fool Money starts.

I'm Ripmanars, and today I'm joined by two of my favorite voices in Fuldom, Jason Hall,

and joining us for Hidden Jems, Lou Whiteman.

We're going to take a look at some stocks that we believe we'll head higher in the coming months.

We're also going to play a new game called Double Trouble.

But first, investors spend a long time treating their stocks as soulmates. Sometimes

they should be treated as sellmates. We spend a lot of time discussing meat cutes when it comes to

stock ideas. Today, I want to talk about breakups. More of the point, what's the decision to sell

that you regret the most? Mine is easy, but I want to start with you, Lou. Like trying to figure out what to do with a blank spreadsheet square. Let's talk about your worst sell decision.

So I'm a terrible person to ask this because it's so boring, Rick. Not because I'm brilliant. Not because, like, I don't have terrible, you know, mistakes. But rather, I don't tend to dabble in the early stage companies to get these

The other is Lowe's, not the home improvement company, but the financial hotel conglomerate. It's, I think, almost a double since then. And the similarities, the reason I regret them, these aren't the, you know, oh, my gosh, I'd be a trillionaire now.

But I'll be honest, I sold them without any good reason.

I had no magic process.

I had no, like, you know, guiding principle.

I basically got bored with them, and I saw something shinier and flashier.

And that is the worst reason to sell.

Not like dramatic declines, nothing that like, you know, this just eats at me because this is

the danger of acting on the whim instead of with real intent. So every time I look at those,
