sell stocks

Its the right time to start buying stocks. With the markets touching a new low and falling, this is the time start buying stocks. I was reading in one website a comment given by an expert that "People give more importance to the right time to sell shares then to buy shares". So its time too get that money out of those fixed deposits that are paying you 8.5% interest and start buying shar

While browsing through my blog roll this morning, I noticed that someone had written (about themselves) that when picking investments, “I buy and sell at the wrong times." It got me thinking about timing. When is the wrong time? When is the right time? How can we tell the difference? How can you truly know when to buy and when to sell? In the world of investing, it seems it's not so much a matter of ‘how much’ as ‘when’; timing can be everything. When you get in, how long you stay in, and when you get out are emphasized. Like alchemists, traders feverishly scream 'buy, sell, hold!' in an attmept to turn lead into gold. But it’s not so easy to figure out when things are going to go down and when they’re going to go up. Unless you practice insider trading, where you have privi

Sometimes you should cut your losses and sometimes stand strong. Here's what's right in this market.By Michael Sivy, Money Magazine editor at large November 26 2007: 10:31 AM ESTNEW YORK (Money) -- The economy is weakening, the stock market is slumping and there's plenty of bad news. It's easy to feel confused.If you sell stocks that are way down, you could be getting out at the bottom and miss the rebound. On the other hand, you can feel foolish hanging on to a stock that just keeps dropping. It may seem as though you would benefit from lightening up on stocks in a falling market and loading up when shares are rising.But for most of us, the expenses to buy and sell are too high and we aren't in a position to catch trends early enough.Plus, the costs of guessing wrong can be devastating. Miss big gains at the start of a bull market, and you'll never make up those lost profits.Does that mean you should be a completely passive investor relying on a few index funds? Some academics

I just thought about this and wanted to share with you to see what others think. I installed the Alexa toolbar for firefox a couple weeks ago and it shows a 4 month visitor trend graph that is neatly tucked in the right hand corner of the screen. The idea of this chart is to show the visitor trend graph for the past four months but doesn’t this show which sites are more popular and indirectly tell us how the company is doing? Here are some examples of companies that are heavily dependent on site traffic for revenue. Amazon As you can see, the visitor trend graph is dropping at a steady place. This should mean less sales for them unless they are somehow able to get people to buy more per visit. However, the stock price has been climbing for many months now. Yahoo It seems like Yahoo is suffering from a little bit of a decrease in traffic over the last 6 months but not as drastic as amazon.com. However, the stock has really taken a beating for the last few months. From th

No one can time the stock market, but Steve Leuthold has a better forecasting record than most -- and he recently turned bearish. It's okay to sell some stocks, but don't overdo it. Better yet, move to higher-quality stocks and bonds.After the market closed on July 17, with Standard & Poor's 500-stock index approaching yet another record, strategist Steve Leuthold issued a "sell" recommendation to clients. His Minneapolis-based market research and money-management firm lowered the percentage of exposure to stocks in its portfolios to 30%. Leuthold conceded in the memo that he felt odd. "We must admit it is unusual and somewhat strange to ... shift to negative at the same time almost all stock market indices are recording new highs and the global economy is stronger." Indeed, the indicators surprised him and his colleagues so much that they waited a week and rechecked the data before issuing the memo.A few days later, Leuthold looked like a genius. It's not the first time. Leuthold
