RE: Selling part of holding27 Jan 2021 20:29
At the risk of repeating myself , repeating myself , I have a long term holding. Because ITM can be pretty volatile I am always looking for that volatility , over a day or a few days , whatever. I try to be in a position to buy on a drop or sell on a rise , if I think that move is likely to reverse. For example this week I have made a dozen or so buys and a similar number of sells. I tend to buy or sell minimum 2.5k shares up to say 10k. I have just calculated , following your question , that as compared with doing nothing I am up £10,700. Bearing in mind that today I am down considerably , like most investors in to green , that gain is my silver lining. In short it is possible to not risk too much but come out fairly well up provided you are happy to keep an eye on things. That’s me anyway , sorry if it is boring anyone or seems simplistic..... that’s me too. GLA
