"We’re more reluctant to sell [stocks we own] than most people. I mean, if we made the right decision going [in], we like to ride that a very long time. And we’ve owned some stocks for decades. But if the competitive advantage disappears, if we really lose faith in the management, if we were wrong in the original analysis — and that happens — we sell. Or if we find something more attractive." --Warren Buffett (2009)
