Is it the best approach to sell over performing investment assets?

[King Belieal]

When we invest in any asset, we have expectations for the performance of that asset. And sometimes, the asset performs far higher than our expectations. At that point, is it the best approach to sell that asset that over-performed?

Is it greed to still hold on to over-performing investment assets?

 

[Kross]

I think it is better to cash in on over performing assets . You don't need to hold them before they crash before you.

When we are going to sell a high-performing asset, of course we have to consider whether the price of the asset is overvalued, whether the price can go higher, besides that we also have to pay attention to the trading volume.

I think that really depends on the investment goals for the person in question. Other investors would set a certain limit for selling their assets.

Are you implying that if the asset has a potential to appreciate higher, we should not sell it, even when it has appreciated ten times already?

That does not mean that you can or cannot sell investments, and each investment instrument will have a different valuation method not based on the increase multiple (10X). For example, in stocks we avoid buying stocks that are overvalued and are even advised to sell them immediately. But in Fair Valued Stocks, investors can freely buy or sell, because the market price is still balanced with the intrinsic value

That depends on the financial goal of the investor. For me, if an individual stock is overvalued, I'll sell it to make some profits.

Yes it depends on how urgent you need the money or how much you want to get at that time. The choice is yours to make

 

[riberet19]

It depends on the asset and the investor, in my case, almost every time an asset has given me good returns I tend to sell, I rarely continue to hold the asset.

 

[Augusta]

If you are sure you can re- invest in a similar asset you can go ahead with it. You might just need to get another one afterwards

I think it is wise thinking to sell stocks that perform very well. Not selling them might tend to look like greed if it rebounds.
