When To Sell A Share

12 December 2011
In this week’s episode:

Often, we find it easier to buy a share than to sell it. Consequently, our portfolios may become unwieldy, cumbersome and unproductive. In this podcast, David Kuo chats with Andy Cross, Chief Investment Officer at Fool.com. Andy highlights five good reasons why we may want to dispose of our holdings. A transcript of this podcast is also available.

 

> We're pleased to introduce The Motley Fool Collective, a brand new, free email designed to tell you what's really happening with the stock market AND what actions you can take to help protect and grow your wealth. Find out more at fool.co.uk/davidkuo

Hi conifer

I have tested the file and it appears to be ok.

Sometimes I listen just to hear the analogies. Thanks

I wouldn't never dream of selling on market fear (where market fear=low prices) because that would be silly. However, what about one's own fear when it is not correlated to the market? In a case like that, you are not "buying high and selling low"...

About the presenter

David Kuo is The Motley Fool’s media personality. He can be heard on BBC London’s (94.9FM) Breakfast Show where he arouses listeners every weekday morning with his unique brand of financial news. He is also a regular commentator on national news programmes including CNBC, BBC News, and Sky News.

David stumbled into the world of broadcasting at the turn of the Millennium when he was invited to comment on the stock market crash. He says, “I think I stunned Londoners speechless when I said the good thing about the crash is that shares are now more affordable for people who want to invest in the stock market!”

His attitude to investing has never wavered, as he always sees downturns in the market as a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
