Ah yes, that old investor question...When to take some profit/top slice/sell out?
Believe me, especially with GGP, unless you're really 100% fixed on a strategy, they rarely carry forwards! I well remember posts on here, years ago, with many posters saying what their strategy was...."I'm going to sell out at xx p", "I'm going to top slice at xx p"!
In reality, and in honesty for most, it rarely happens that way. All it needs is a big, or even medium sp rise, in a day/week, taking the sp to those decided upon levels, for the investor to rerate their policy. WoW! I'm now going to hold a bit longer...rinse & repeat!
So, all those that ask, sadly, often with derision, "Why didn't you sell GGP in the high 30p's?", it's really not that simple! I've already said in the past, that despite initially buying at 0.67p, I didn't top slice any until it had dropped back to around 26p.
Anyway, I know that nobody in investment is ever, ever, perfect, so just laugh at those that think that they are! They're usually losers!
DYOR & GLA!
