Ask me how , don’t lose your money ?

Sell a stock when ur thesis changes. Figure out a plan when you buy it, I.e. a leader in a growing industry, turnaround story, strategic transformation good dividend payer / compounder , etc. etc. ONLY sell when the factors of your thesis changed. Don’t sell when fed cut or raises rates, don’t sell on bad inflation data, and most important DONT sell of fear / “everyone else is”

It depends in your goals and your overall portfolio allocation. Your age and overall financial situation. Assuming you are not going to do day trade but rather long term. I would say diversify, general rule of thumb no more than 5 to 10% of your portfolio on a single stock. Then regarding when to sell, that also depends if you got the stock through a employer incentive plan and your income and other incentives largely come from the same employer, you want to sell regularly as soon as it vest primarily for diversification purposes. The other consideration is timing, anything less than a year will get taxed as a short sale so if you can hold longer than a year you’ll get lower taxes on the gains. Then from there, timing is all about what goals you have, do you need money for a specific goal buy a house etc.. then layer in what @consultant above 👆said. What’s your investment thesis, has it changed? Is this one of your core holdings where you believe it will continue to appreciate and you want to hold on to it. Was this a time based opportunistic play due a triggering moment, let’s say an anquisition or a stock split. If so then set a target of what’s the return you expect and at once that hits either sell or setup a stop loss so you gain on the upside but don’t lose all agains if the stock suddenly crashes. There are many approaches out there so find what works for you. Some people only invest in industries they are familiar with and diversity through indexes. I am no expert myself but continuously learning.
