Good Selling: To-DOs
Have a sell plan when buyingSpend Equal Thinking Time
Use an A-A disciplineAssume change!
Give up on being perfectWatch Behavioral Signs of
HighsSell on first to speak:
fundamentals OR technical analysis
![Page 40: WOULD YOU DO THIS ?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56812ad1550346895d8eb1b6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Selling: Operational Level
Date, don’t marry, your darlingsGraciously accept unreasonable
returns
Sell volume crescendosSell spikes immediately
(Internet compression effect!)
Believe the cockroach theory!Keep a notebook on yourself
![Page 41: WOULD YOU DO THIS ?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56812ad1550346895d8eb1b6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
STOP AND LIMIT ORDERS
* Enter target sells using P-S-T* Your cost not a valid factor
* Stops not at arbitrary percent down
* Use chart patterns to set stops* Avoid the bad odds of EPS time!
- admittedly, more practical for smaller portfolios
![Page 42: WOULD YOU DO THIS ?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56812ad1550346895d8eb1b6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Good Selling: DON’Ts ListDon’t view sale as permanent
verdictDon’t confuse stock with
companyDon’t Fixate on meaningless
numbersDon’t Rationalize
Don’t reach for one more day or point
Don’t sell @ open unless the bad news is corporate cancer or
scandalDon’t lower or pull stops
Don’t let taxes rule thinking
![Page 43: WOULD YOU DO THIS ?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56812ad1550346895d8eb1b6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
