As a small investor, you got a chance to be in thousands and thousands of great businesses and their prices change all the time; so their relative valuations change and you can make the exchange at very low cost, close to nothing. You can always shift from one business to another.
You have a huge advantage over the big boys, as they cannot shift their business to retail or something else so easily. You can rearrange your business empire in your portfolio that you have at a moment's notice at practically no cost. You have a huge advantage which, sadly, many turn into a disadvantage.
There is nothing in the price action of the stock that tells you whether you should keep owning the stock. What tells you to keep owning it is - what do you expect the company to do in the future versus the price you are selling now.and compare to the other opportunity which you think you know equally well and make the same comparison.
You can check your portfolio regularly to see how to optimise the stocks in your portfolio. There is nothing to stop you from checking this daily. However, don't do it too frequently.
