Where they are at isn't the issue. The important consideration is your expectations for future growth.
* If you think the stock will go down, sell. (Have reasonable expectations with today's market volatility.)
* If you have a stock you like better, sell and buy the better stock.
* If you set a target and reached it, sell.
Otherwise continue to hold it. If the stock is up, you can set a trailing stop to protect your profit. Or to prevent excessive losses, if it is down. |

When you buy a stock, you have to know why you are buying it.
is it for income (dividends)
is if for capital gain (you hope it will go up in price , but has no dividend)
Or for both reasons.
When you buy a stock, you should have a price in mind that you will sell at for a profit in the future...And More important, you should have a price that you will sell it at if the price goes down and you are in a loss position.
When losing, you shouldn't hold for a recovery, when it hits you pre-ordain sell price, do it, lick your wounds and get on with life.
A wise investment guru says, Buy more of what is working, sell more of what is not. |

quite interesting question.
question looks very simple but mind boggling.-- difficult to answer.
decision to sell a stock when high or low is based on fair judgment at particular given time.
what is the reference point you have to say high or low.
when you draw profit and loss account then reference point is the cost at which a stock is bought and sold.
When you have to take a decision on "selling of Stock" you should have the reference point Market adjudged price (not the price at which you have bought).
Now you will have the answer, if the market value is less than intrinsic value decision to sell is wrong judgment (this always rule under bearish phase). If the market over valued the stock (it happens in Bull market) the decision to sell is correct judgment.
Market is a cycle - one should evaluate to his best advantage. |

It depends on what way you want to profit ie: short term gains then sell...then buy low and so on.
I do this, if a share is really volatile it can be stressful, but rewarding financially. |
