When to sell: It's the age-old investing question. Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B) CEO Warren Buffett says his favorite time frame for holding a stock is "forever." Investing great Peter Lynch says you should sell a stock when your reasons for buying no longer apply. And legendary fund manager John Neff says it's "probably time to sell when you feel like bragging."
