should i sell when my stocks are growing?
user
if you feel comfortable taking an 8% gain on your stocks, then yes, you should sell. it is generally a good idea to know when you want to sell (either a price or %) before you ever actually buy the stocks. that helps from getting emotional and making poor decisions.
