Seven Reasons To Sell A Value Stock

-----------------------------------

1. The stock price drops 20% below your purchase price. A 20% drop is very unlikely if you buy a very good company that is undervalued.
2. You found you made a mistake when evaluating the company, as it does not meet one of the 9 investment criteria.
3. During your regular evaluation, you notice a negative change in one of the 9 investing criteria, and it does not seem temporary (e.g. fall in profit margin, earnings per share, ROE etc…)
4. Management takes action that is not in shareholder’s best interests or dilutes their stakes significantly.
5. You identify a much better investment (higher growth prospects, better price) that will give you a much higher annual rate of return.
6. When the economy is approaching a bubble and the stock’s price is way overvalued.
7. Inflation is very high => FED begins to raise interest rates
8. S&P 500 PE ratio is above 30.
