The most difficult part of investing?
Knowing when to sell a stock
Here are 7 reasons why: x.com
1. You Made a Mistake
Everyone makes mistakes.
Learn from them and adjust accordingly. x.com
An example:
I sold Starbucks in 2021 after realizing its competitive moat wasn’t as strong as I thought. x.com
2. You’ve Found a Better Opportunity
Investing is about opportunity costs.
Don’t be afraid to shift to stocks with better risk-return potential. x.com
Example:
A while ago, I sold Meta Platforms position and moved funds to a promising US-quality stock. x.com
3. The Company is Losing Its Moat
A moat protects a company’s market position.
Re-evaluate your investment when a competitive advantage weakens, x.com
Example:
Nokia dominated phones until it overlooked the smartphone wave. x.com
4. The Stock Is Overvalued
Price matters, but don’t sell too soon. Great companies often exceed expectations.
Avoid selling unless it’s ridiculously overvalued, as growth can justify high prices. x.com
Example:
Nvidia is an AI leader but trades at a price/earnings multiple of 68x! x.com
5. Change in Management
“Skin in the game” is key. Good managers are invaluable for growth and integrity. x.com
Example:
Nokia's management decided to skip the smartphone wave: x.com
6. Growth Is Slowing Down
Earnings growth is all that matters in the long term.
Look for companies with above-average growth for higher returns. x.com
Example:
Coca-Cola is iconic but unlikely to grow fast due to its size. Slow growth is why I don’t own it. x.com
7: Need for Cash
Liquidity needs may require selling, but choose stocks wisely. If you must sell, prioritize the least promising positions first.
Stocks compound over time; holding investments maximizes their future worth. x.com
That's it for today.
