Profit from the Pros

Do You Know When to Sell?

The Fed likes to do things at 2pm ET. It is just standard operating procedure for them. Thus, it is often amusing to see the shuffling of activity that takes place just before the announcement as traders finalize their bets. Then the immediate reaction to the Fed news. And finally the lasting reaction which is often quite different than the first take.

This Wednesday at 2pm we saw the shuffle in full swing for both bond rates and stocks. In the end rates ended up about where they started. However, stocks did seem a bit more buoyant as there is no serious fear of rates screaming higher any time soon.

For now the environment remains bullish. Yet even still it is often hard to insure profits as investors often get vexed by the decision of when to sell. The article below provides 4 rules that will help you sell at the right time to maximize gains. That's valuable information you should check out now.
