But you would have to take a loss on your holdings, you don't get rich by taking losses. Better to wait until it gets to your purchase price before you sell it
Agree or disagree? |

[/ QUOTE ] uhh i'm sticking my neck out here since i don't know stocks very well, but isn't this a sunk cost? it shouldn't matter that you've lost money on the stock already - what makes you the most money from here on out is most important. so in this case, you make more money by selling the shares to the gentleman now and then buying back the shares (or even extra shares) at market price than you do by simply holding on to your original shares. |

Re: Who\'s right - help me settle a bet with gf, w/ poll w/o mspaint
Okay, some background, my girlfriend and I are talking about stocks because it's the hot trendy thing where I am. So she mentions how she has a few crappy overvalued stocks and she is waiting for them to go back to her purchase price before selling.
I ask her, "But if they are crappy and overvalued, why not sell them now when the market is hot?" She says, "But then I would take a loss!" I say, "But what does that matter? If you think they are worth $20 and the market is offering to buy them from you at $40, why wouldn't you?" She looks at me like I am an alien and says that I don't know how to buy stocks. So the [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] is with me. Then I ask her about the scenario above with some guy offering to buy at $40 when the market is trading at $20. She says she still wouldn't sell because it would be taking a loss, she'd wait until it got back to $100. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] So I say, "WTF? That's stupid, no one would do that!" So she says, "O RLY? Everyone would do that!" I say, "Let's put it to a vote then!" She says, "Sure!" Now she angleshoots me by saying OOT isn't representative, what's my next move OOT |
