When to Sell

Its really easy to buy on EA but what about selling?? When is the best time??? Well i may be able to help a little there.

LONG TERM INVESTMENTS (Darkhorses)

First thing i look at is if the person is leveling off or losing money, if they are gaining don't think of selling...yet. If they are leveling off go to the next step.

Second thing I look at when i review my portfolio is the dividends, i am quite lax about my standards for keeping a long term investment... I would like to see at least 1 credit per every 10 shares (If you are just starting you should be more demanding).The larger your share percentage the more you should get from the influencer, if you are not getting the desired amount of dividends consider selling.

SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS

these are easy to sell because you buy them and (usually) sell them within a few days. The rule of thumb is if they aren't making you good dividends or are starting to fall/plateau you should seriously consider selling.

I wont tell you when to sell but hopefully this helps you in your decision!
