For you guys that buy and hold stocks. When do you decide to sell underperforming stocks? How long do you wait? Some I've held for 20 yrs are lagging way behind the averages but they've been great in the past.

Also. I know it's recommended to rebalance the portfolio but don't you want to let your high performing stocks run?

Dii on not have a good answer. But for sure I would not sell now. Have to imagine they are at a low similar to everything else.

There are no simple answers.

Discipline over conviction is my strategy.

If a stock has underperformed it needs to go. Do not fall in love with a stock. Look at GE as the perfect example and I still know people that refuse to sell "because it has been great in the past". Dividends wont save you when the stock falls well past the annual yield.

Yes you want to let your winners run but I rebalance by taking off anything that doubles and look for other opportunities. If I sell a double, I am using profits to maintain the position and I can reinvest my original capital in something else that may be ready to move. I sold doubles in CRM and NVDA last week.

Just my opinions, you should always fact check your strategies.

Just my opinion, selling now to sell is not a strategy. Selling to take profits and lock in gains could make sense. Also selling losing positions with small losses might make sense if you can either reuse the cash for other positions, or you could look to wait and buy back the same position at a lower cost thereby averaging down.

I have been averaging down by selling some winners and building larger positions. I have done this with MSFT, MA and SBUX last week

Do you give it a couple years of lagging or is a quicker hook the better route?GE is indeed a great example. Thank you. My question doesn't really pertain to what's going on now but more of a general strategy. I've become overweight in the popular tech stocks but I don't want to stop a winner?

You can dabble in some put options to hedge yourself against a dip

Well just a general example, if you are over weight in any sector, ask yourself if the risk is worth the reward? Again, when I have doubles, I take my cost out and let the profit build

Yes if a person understands that strategy or has good guidance.

I don't know anything about put options so I stay clear of those. I barely know anything about any of this so really appreciate all the information from these threads. I did buy a little of my favorites last Friday and so far so good. Im holding off on reinvesting more to see where this thing goes.

Actually, the answer to this question is simple, it's the methodology that's tricky.

I sell a stock when I see that going forward, the company's not likely to make sound business decisions. This involves taking a look at the company's management, spending, investing in itself, strategy, exposure to risk, etc etc.

If temporary occurrences have brought a stock's price down, then fine, the new price is either an opportunity to buy at a discount of what I think it's really worth or a warning sign that the company's headed toward the shitter.

Very often, you don't have to dig that deep to find red flags.

What do you think about Disney. I've had it forever but the last few years pretty average. Had a good pop when the streaming service came out but otherwise average. The recently made a CEO change as well.

A wildly whipsawing market is exactly what you think it is. A train trying to stay on the tracks.

Mrs Yoda's friend is retiring in a few weeks. Timing couldn't be worse. Mrs Friend is the type to act on emotion. This could get ugly.

I don't actively trade, but this is an interesting thread. Thanks for starting this thread.

Cool. I hope it works out for you Many people panic sold and are trying to figure out how/when to get back in.

I went 80/20 bonds/stocks in mid January. Not planning on getting back into stocks for awhile. We aren't done with this carnage, not by a long shot.

I don't know nearly enough about the entertainment/movie streaming industry enough to give you a good answer. Seems like the consensus thinks the stock is overvalued.

I am trying to understand the analogy. A market is the collective view of billions of human opinions, valuations and emotions while a train is an inanimate object.

A market in turmoil (volatile) represents opportunity as opinions are diverse as opposed to an out of control train where there is no potential upside. (Metaphorically it does offer a chance to short the trains brake manufacturer, operator, and insurer while suggesting a potential buying opportunity for a RR competitor, and the ability to look into potential production challenges caused by the delay in delivering the trains cargo).

My 2 cents but trying to understand while not digressing to name calling or the use of profanity.

I believe at this level it could be a good long term hold.

They still have exposure to COVID-19, travel and anything related to crowds at their properties or theaters. I believe that their streaming service is over valued.

It is not on my list at this time

Too much too quickly.

Although the oversold reading was big it was not extreme. If we retest the low, I am not sure it holds.

John I don’t have any actionable financial advice for strangers on a watch forum.

Seeing as you’re apparently a hedge fund manager I can see why this sort of market is very profitable for you but for many of us we are just looking for ways to protect capital. We are not professionals.

Coming in after close to call out random strangers on TRF about an opinion on market direction seems like an odd move for someone in your profession.

A dangerous place for casual investors to dabble unless they have a very strong stomach or the professional guidance needed to deploy more complex strategies.
