    Very apt article Shabbir sir..
    Another probabale reason would be uncertainty of market and "a bird in the hand better than two in the bush" attitude..Many a times, because of under-confidence in my investment ideas, I tried to book profits as soon as it reached is target.
    The concept of delayed gratification doesn't work, many a times, while booking profits. I was overjoyed when something went according to my plan and this confirmation bias took its toll.
