How often do you guys sell a stock? I suppose you could buy one then hold onto it for 10 or 20 years, but why not buy and sell it 7 or 8 times in that period everytime it goes up? Looking at stock history charts, you could be in the same position 10 years from now as where you first started. What about if you put $4000 into a companies stock and then it goes up $150 in just a couple days then why not sell It? If you have enough stocks in different companies I think you could easily average $50-75 a day just by clicking a few buttons on the computer.
I think this beats doing nothing and constantly watch it go up and down all the time, but I think you have to wait for it to go high enough to make it worth while and cover all the taxes, broker and accountant fees to process the tax forms.
Opinions? I know this is an oil forum, but I bet a lot of the older guys on here have some stocks.
