They've increased quite a bit this spring, right?

As for keeping them or not, I have no idea, sorry. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

try to explain your thoughts a bit better. This is just totally random, and you wont get a good response. explain the company and why you want to buy/sell.

I would sell.

Owning individual stocks unnecessarily concentrate risk. Without a strong quantifiable rationale behind owning the stock, the risk is too great. Sell.

There's basically no way that you have an idea of the amount of risk he is weighing by the information he gave in the OP.

Based on OP's posting history in this forum over the past few days, I would be willing to wager a pretty substantial sum that he does not hold a well-diversified portfolio, and that he should indeed sell H&M for risk control reasons.

Your second sentence does very little to support your first.
