When’s the best time to sell?
- There’s many expert opinions out there, here we summarize some thoughts for you
- Sometimes it’s helpful taking another perspective so we’ll start with a tip of when NOT to sell
Reconsider selling if your reason is…
- Gambling, this can be fun but dangerous for your wallet!
- Seeing the price decrease scares you.
- To combat this, set a threshold ahead of time to hold yourself accountable to selling when you told yourself you would. For example, “I’m going to sell if the price falls more than 10%.” → If it falls <10%, don’t sell. If it falls >10%, sell.
- Everyone is selling so I have to sell too
Potential good reasons to sell
- You think something has fundamentally changed about the company that worries you
- You need the money, whether to cover an extraordinary circumstance, personal expenses or to put towards another ticker you believe has a greater potential
- You’re happy with the profits and want to treat yourself
