GF, buying at the top and selling at the bottom is the nightmare of all stock pickers.
You are going to sell (on the bell?) this morning. Yet that is the place I bought on Friday. and it is the same stock with the same prospects.
The SP always has 2 options and we can all, all make the wrong call but if you buy and sell reasonably frequently then I would suggest that always a plan should be in the head of the buyer.
Why am i buying now at this price? (The obvious reason is that you think it wont fall from here buy why? what reasons or indications do you have)
What price will I sell If it makes a profit and which price do I sell if I am wrong.
But deciding these things you will be able to see your potential loss and your potential gain and then with this risk reward you can maybe see if the bet effectively is worth taking.
Once you have a plan it is the start of removing the emotional fear and greed tap dance that dictates the actions of the majority of PI's.
The last part of the jigsaw is time, you have to have an idea of how long you will wait for the plan to work.
As an example if someone is a lth holder and they have been in a stock that for 5 years has only gone up 5% then that is a poor investment as you have lost 5 years of earnings time, and time, is the single precious commodity we all have in everything, including investment.
Anyway good luck.
