Should I sell Visa stock?
When you own a stock with some profit, it's really hard to decide the correct moment to sell and get your benefits. Much like when we have to buy shares, determining when is appropiate to sell is not a random decision, and we must adhere our own trading style. When selling, as well as buying, detailed strategies are very simple to use but are only applicable for selling stocks you already own, not for selling short $V stock
As a golden rule, you must never hold an open trade that yields higher than expected losses at the time of the buy. When to sell shares must always be ruled by the stop-loss (automatic or manual)
