Yes true. Not being greedy I would sell when 50% up

No. because if I hold the stock until it breaks even, means I intend to hold it for long term. usually I will cut loss and reinvest. that's means harder for me to hold when it drops 50%. with 50% gains, it's easier to hold. now this is not a hard and fast rule for me, but more often than not, kind of thing. for wheel, use it on a fundamentally good stock that is cyclical.

Sometimes i am being unfair, i can hold when red, and i started selling after it turned green with small little profits for trading $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ but for the other stock that for long term holding i can just hold forever… 😢 $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ $JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF(JEPI)$ $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$ why i cant hold TESLA longer ? Can tesla be one of long term holding ?

when the lost have been too long, waiting does not help. try to get as close to break even as possible. use the fund for other opportunities 

Too many times, even though I just started investing recently! I used to regret it because some of them went up again just 1 or 2 weeks later. But I've also come to realise that for some other underperforming stocks, selling when they break even can be a good idea because instead of waiting and waiting for them to rise, that money could be better deployed elsewhere first! Still learning as I go along!

I Just started maybe need more read how to do this to gain, but the profit is seen

Set a stop loss and never lose 👍

No option: tends to hold on to loss and sell when above breakeven; can't wait to sell if there is quick/sudden profit.

nope, as I planned to hold them for long term. this is why it's important that I invest in good companies with strong fundamentals. I will probably sell a stock when it breaks even if the company's fundamentals had changed. as it's no longer viable to hold onto such company so far, haven't and need not do this and hope that I will never have to experience this @koolgal @Universe宇宙 @rL @HelenJanet @SPACE ROCKET @LMSunshine

Wait to sell a stock at its break even point when there is an eruption of unconducive event such as war? But there is absolutely no guarantee that a stock will ever come back. Waiting to break even may seriously erode returns on investment. Cutting losses can be more important for long-term returns. Do not let our emotion get in the way of good judgment.  On the other hand, if a stock breaks through a key resistance level on the upside, it may signal more gains and a higher trading range for the stock, which means it is advisable to sell part of the position rather than all of it, to lock in some profits first. 

This phenomenon relates to the psychological behavior of investors when dealing with stock investments, particularly their tendencies to sell stocks at break-even points or to react to losses and gains. Below is an in-depth analysis of this behavior, touching on several psychological concepts, market dynamics, and strategies employed by investors. ### Understanding Investor Behavior #### 1. **Loss Aversion** Loss aversion is a concept from behavioral economics suggesting that people prefer avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. This means the pain of losing $100 is more intense than the pleasure of gaining $100. Consequently, investors might hold onto a losing stock longer than is rational, hoping it will recover to at least the break-even point to avoid realizing a loss. #### 2. *

That's not an investor. An investor would know what they are buying. Hence, selling at break even doesn't sound right.  But still, anyone would sell if they no longer interested that any particular stock

I still remember the day I invested in what I thought was a sure-win US $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  stock. I was convinced it would skyrocket, making me a fortune. But fate had other plans. As the months went by, my investment began to tank. I watched in horror as my portfolio dwindled, losses mounting to a staggering 50%. I couldn't bear the thought of losing even more, so I sold my shares, cutting my losses. But fate has a way of mocking us. Just a few months later, the stock began to soar, shooting up by 50% and leaving me regretful of my hasty decision. I had let fear dictate my move, and it cost me dearly. I realized that sometimes, patience and persistence are essential in investing. If only I had held on, I would have recouped my losses

Yea sometimes I have sold it as soon as it break even 

Oh yes, I am many stocks I have done that. Usually I might reenter shortly afterwards should the upward trend continue. I can't say it's a good move but there are other counters where I have regrets for not exiting on break even too. Overall it's a mixed bag.

I have been bag holding for 2 years now.... a loss is only realised when u have sold.  Believe in what u have invested and wait to mature.... Rawr

No I won't sometime when it break even will continue to go up. Need to see the situation and the latest developments of that particular companies. Hope this help @Tiger_comments 

Great lesson for everyone on the option wheel strategy. The options wheel strategy is an income producing strategy involving selling put options, potentially owning stock, and selling covered calls until the shares are called away or the position is closed. The wheel is an increasingly popular strategy for investors that want to generate income before and possibly during stock ownership. The wheel's primary objective is not to own stock. The strategy's goal is to consistently take in credit via selling short put options. However, selling short put options prior to owning stock reduces the position’s cost basis throughout its duration. The wheel strategy can be thought of as an active approach to passive investing that allows investors to generate consistent income. It is perfect for stock

All the time 🤣🤣🤣
