At what % about the stock price should I sell and take my profits?

Question

at what percentage above the cost price should you walk? prices fluctuate therefore? what should the end point be?

Answer 1

General reasons for investors for when to sell a stock:

• The fundamentals have changed
• Share price has risen dramatically and you think that the stock has become overvalued
• You now believe that the purchase was a mistake
• Tax loss harvesting
• You need the money
• You found a better opportunity
• Your target price has been reached
• To cut losses
• Never

It's a somewhat different set of rules for a trader.
