You sell your stock when you are happy with the return you made on your money and locking up the profit outweighs the continued risk of holding it.
Its different for each person, you might have invested 2K and now you have 6K and that might be really important to you to protect it. Or you may see a better way to invest 6K because you can't see the stock going much higher...
I used to work for financial consultants, I learned a great trick. Sell half your stock right now and then you can be happy whether it goes up or down from here...You are locking up a bunch of profit and if it continues up you still own half your shares! If it goes down you can sell it at $60 and still be very happy. |

Once the stock gets closer to $100/share I would definitely sell. However, if you notice large increases over the summer stick with it until increases begin to slow or even reverse and start falling. CROX has been skyrocketing since its IPO and it is due for a reality check. So just be careful but I wouldsay don't sell yet. |

Do you think that the per share price will rise or fall. It's just like gambling, you never know for sure. If you don't want to risk it, then sell. You'll make some money. |

put a stop loss on the stock. that way when it goes down your stock is sold out at a very good profit. i would suggest a $.25
[25 cent] stop loss. if your shares drop .25 it would sell and you would not
stand to lose a big gain you have. you can use % or $ amounts for your stop loss. if the stock continues to go up your stop loss will move as well. but if your stock goes down your stop loss does not go down. that way if the stock keeps going up you keep making more money .
hope this helps you. have a great day.

if the stock starts falling a little sell before you lose your money if it keeps going up sell around $150-$200 a share |
