Should I Sell My Stocks?

Should I Sell My Stocks?

It's been a wild and unprecedented ride for global stock markets.. At the very least, when unsure of what to do, the best course of action is often to sit on one's hands and do nothing at all.. For those who can stomach it, adding to stock positions that have been long-term winners is an even better course of action (more on that in a minute).. If you are a retired or nearing-retirement investor, there's a good chance you hold some stocks.. When looking to sell stocks, I always start with my losers -- those stocks that have underperformed (or outright lost value) during the last run-up in the stock market.. There are exceptions to the rule, but long-term losers keep losing, and long-term winners keep winning.. It looks like time to part ways, at least for the time being until the longer-term investment thesis improves.. For some investors, companies like Netflix ( NASDAQ:NFLX ) , Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL ) , and Amazon ( NASDAQ:AMZN ) have grown to represent a large portion of the portfolio overall.. As already discussed, if winners keep winning, then you're best picks deserve to continue leading the way forward.. Stock Advisor launched in February
