When to sell stocks

Hello friends, in today’s article we see when to sell stocks from chapter 6 of the common stocks and uncommon profits book. This chapter helps you to understand the selling of outstanding company stocks. The most important question is: when to sell stocks? so let’s see their merit and demerit of selling stocks.

When to sell stocks:

When to sell stocks

The author says ” if you are selling stocks, then we have an infinite reason for that for example, selling stocks for child education, starting own business and buying own house.”

This above all reason is out of this book. The author is only focusing on those reasons that have only one purpose making maximum profits by selling stocks.

If you are buying stocks on the basis of the previous chapter. Then you have only three reasons for selling stocks.

1 ) The mistake has been made in the Original purchase time: 

  • You have made the mistake while buying stocks that are known from the facts of the company. Now this time the prospect of the company is not good as before buying time. So in this situation, you have to control your emotion.
  • You have to remember this, ” big investors also do big mistakes”, so sell stocks as quickly as.
  • don’t hold that stocks for the long term, while listening to your ego. In this situation say no to that stocks and don’t run from accepting mistakes. so most of the investors lose their money while listening to their ego and holding that stocks. (When to sell stocks)
  • In this situation, you have two types of losing
  • 1) the more you hold, the more you lose: Instead of that sell these stocks and buying the better stocks then these stocks hold for the long term so this stock’s profit is more than the previous stocks we hold for the long term.
  • 2) Profits have also gone: If you hold those stocks then you lose the profit of better stocks also.
  • If you really want a 100% gain on the investment of your lifetime saving, over a period of the year, then don’t think of a 10% loss or 5% gain. don’t lose energy while thinking of that loss and gain.
  • Review your mistake carefully, learn from that mistake, and go forward.
  • In my opinion, Those investors buy the stocks, while analyzing them properly, and after some time those stocks go bad. They going bad they have the fact of that happening and show the reason for that happening.
  • But investors never believe in that fact, because they are very much attached to that stock like attached to a girlfriend. (When to sell stocks)
  • So Those are a trader, these people are not attached to stocks whatever stocks. they only put the Stop Loss option. If they had made a mistake, then they don’t lose lots of money because of the stop loss option and they play other trades. I am not saying to become a trader and put the stock loose. I am saying that taking the quality from traders is detachment from stocks. and learn this skill of detachment.

2) If the company no longer qualifies in regards to the 15 points.

  • This situation has two reasons for this cause of selling stocks

A) Determination of Management:

  • Management of the company is long after time getting success. And they are sufficient with that success and after that, they don’t work like before they do to got success.
  • The new management of the company does not believe in the old management policy. The Old management policy helped to get the success of the company. (When to sell stocks)
  • In this situation, you have to sell stocks as quickly as, whatever the general market outlook. If the market is bullish or bearish what is the capital gain TAX?

B) Company no longer has the prospects of new market and new products:

  • If the above point is taken, then that is why the growth potential of the company decreases,s and then the stock price is also decreased.
  • So in this situation, you can sell these stocks slowly, but you have to consider, the time of selling stocks comes.
  • Stocks can be sold at more leisure than management deterioration, but the time to sell has come.

3) Switching to more attractive company stocks:

  • If an investor is very much sure about other stocks are better than these stocks in growth prospects.
  • then after that, you can switch whatever capital gain tax is applicable while selling these stocks. you can handsomely switch to better stocks.
  •  So this that not mean switching each and every day and becoming a trader.

Above these three reasons from the author, the author gives another reason for selling stocks according to the financial institute, consider to sell stocks and their thought and the authors thought on their thinking.

so let’s see financial community’s reason for selling stocks is good or bad

Reasons the financial community gives for selling stocks:

1) General Market decline is on the horizon:

  • The general market forecast is only a guess, you have to find out the real problem in the company and get the knowledge that does not depend on a guess. (When to sell stocks)
  • If you sell stocks and the bear market does not come, then you got a loss and when investors buy stocks and capital gain tax is also applied. this looks like pure stupidity.

2) Outstanding stock has become overpriced:

  • Overpriced means the P/E ratio of the company is more than the investor thinks this range is a good P/E ratio. This P/E ratio is more multiple than the P/E ratio, which we are considering is good. This can get while considering with other company.
  • No one tells you the good price of the P/E ratio.
  • In any common think good stocks of the company will sell and should sell at a higher P/E multiple.
  • The author says, ” if you understand the stocks is go high as compared to its a fundamental value and 35% can fall down but have a good prospect of the company. then You have to maintain the position in that stock and not sell at all. (When to sell stocks)

3) Most ridiculous of all is that Stocks has had a huge advance:

  • This stock’s potential is gone and buying the new stocks and saying these stocks do not go high.
  • The author explains with examples, ” Suppose you have the last day of your college life. Everyone asks you to give them 10X of their first-year earnings.
  • instead of that, they give you 25% of his every year earnings for the rest of his life. so you don’t have that much money to give each and every classmate in your class.
  • You can give only three classmates. In this situation you can’t see who your friends are, you directly see which student in the class is clever and those got big earnings in the coming future year.
  • You choose three people, and after 10 years, one of your classmates, get outstanding success. He gets promotion on promotion and gets the top executive post in his company.
  • So the author says, tell me in this situation, you can sell me a contract of those friends that got great success,
  • because only one reason is that they get the 600% return on your investment and buy those classmate contract that has the same earnings before 10 years and after also.
  • You think like this, a classmate does not develop and has the ability to develop.  this is like the above third reason for the financial community. (When to sell stocks)
  • Now you say, a college classmate and company stocks are both different things.
  • the author says, yes one big difference is, our outstanding classmate gets possible death early is not but, he will die one day, definitely.
  • After his death, we don’t get 25% of his earnings.
  • But a company doesn’t have a lifespan whatever death of the founder has happened, the company is still running, generation after generation.
  • Those quality and management policy is the same and they are hiring new quality management.
  • For this the author says, this whole chapter in one is

“If the job has been correctly done when stock is purchased, the time to sell it – Almost Never..”

Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits: chapter 1

Hello friends, in today’s article we see chapter 1, clues from the past of common stock and uncommon profits book. In this book, Philip A. Fisher explains how we can learn from history, and how people are makes money in history, in chapter 1, clues from the past of common stocks and uncommon profits book.

Previous introduction part

Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits: chapter 1

Common stocks and uncommon profits Chapter 1: Clues from the past

Philip A. Fisher says by seeing the past of the stock market, they get

People come stock market for only one reason is that they want to make money in the market. So in past, they use two methods to make money in the market.

  1. By predicting the business cycle, and betting on that prediction, they buy the stock at the bad time and sell the stock at the good time. So they collect the information from their connection and know when the bad time comes and when to buy that bad stocks. Those people have more connections that prediction is going more accurately and they make the money.
  2. Finding outstanding companies and holding them in the good and bad times of the business economy. So this method helps to get a low risk and maximum profits. (Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits: Chapter 1)

So comparing both methods, you get a good result for the second way than the first one.

And this second method is more profitable for more people, But you have to identify the outstanding company.

So outstanding companies’ opportunities are also available in past and they are also available in present, and they are maximum in number as compared to the present. Because in past there is only a family business present, and they were only run by a family member, whatever the person is they deserve it or not the company, they run the company.

But in no time, if any family business they are not capable to run the business, they hire the most eligible management. (Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits: Chapter 1)

Another thing is that now businesses are spending more money on research or R&D department. This start form Hitler’s time, in Hitler’s army, there are so many researchers going on weapons, so that’s why they become very famous, so every country knew about the power of R&D. So there from each and every country start developing research and spend money on R& D. (Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits: Chapter 1)

So people make the R&D of commercial products also. Now the company’s revenue of about 20% has come from those products that are actually not even present or developed.

So doing research is good, if you don’t do the R&D, is more expensive than doing R&D.

Bond:

A bond is a very bad investment in the long term because the simple one is infection.

This inflation is more than the bond interest. Your money is going negative when you choose the bond as a long-term investment.

So the bond is only profitable when you have to know how to time the interest rate of inflation in short term.

So get the coupons on the bonds they are very less in value as you give them and buy bonds.

The author says in past we have to learn five things, (Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits: Chapter 1)

  1. those people make the maximum return by identifying the outstanding company, those companies whose sales and profits grow fast than the there industry.
  2. When you have found such a company and hold it for a long period of time, get the maximum results.
  3. this is not necessary for this type of company is small-cap, but company management is intelligent enough to handle the problem of the company, identify the new opportunity for the company to grow, and make the company profitable.
  4. Growth comes from research that, that product is developed from the existing product. ( Growth is associated with knowing how to manage research to bring to market economically worthwhile and usually interrelated product lines.
  5. Opportunities that were present before 25-50 years are now present also and more.

So this knows us from the historical stock market, and money-making strategy.
