Time to sell is as important as time to buy. Selling
correctly determines how much is made and how much is lost. In fact, many
investors find selling decisions are harder to make. And that is our
exactly our strength, we generally like to place trailing stop orders on
profitable positions and have a generally rule of selling un-profitable
investments at 9% below cost. If an investor sells an investments at 9%
loss, the next investment needs about 10% to break even. A fairly possible
and doable event. If someone lets a stock to down 50% [ I am sure you know
someone who fits this category] , then it takes a 100% to break even. Is
it easy to find something to double?
Therefore, it is super important to find a good firm and work with good
people.
We hope you would compare and consider using CIG.
