Many thanks netcurtains, I tend to do a bit of both, almost two pots, the shorter time frame just to provide some interest tbh. Find many investors if asked don't even have an exit strategy for the stock they hold which I believe can be a fundamental error. How many times has this stock provided a false dawn as a classic example. Some of the best investors I've seen over the last 30 odd years operate a staggered policy with a stock which might be subject to spikes or swings, so for this one for example might be.. 17p sell 25%, 20p sell 25% 40p sell 25% after re-assessing, 80p re-assess.
This way you do part slice, and if it drops back you have a reward in which you can trouser the difference, move funds to another or buy even more stock than before. Top slicing is a good strategy normally when it doubles you take out original investment for a free ride. I'll always congratulate anyone taking something off the table, plenty of folks do nothing and regret it afterwards.
