Hello all,
May I ask a question? Why do you think a successful share should go down?
May I offer an answer. People who want to make a profit out of the share know they can only do this when they sell the stock. Or at least some of it.
Until you sell a winning share, you haven't got a profit. Even worse - you have not got the capital you first invested. Or at least you can't spend it.
So investors sell shares - even if they are doing well.
When a lot of selling goes on, the share, sooner rather than later, stops rising, levels out and probably falls.
If you invest in a really good company your investment should rise over the weeks, months and years. But if you sell before it drops and buy back before it starts to rise again, you may see your lolly increase even faster.
If however, you get the timing wrong, you may not be so lucky. Personally, I try to buy on the dips and sell on the rises, rather than let a share lie fallow. But don't let me influence you. See you in the Punter's Return!
