Profit Taking On A Stock You Still Want

When taking profits it is important to consider if you still want to hold the stock because of its overall growth potential or if you want to collect a dividend.  If this is the case then to not miss out on any potential surges after you have taken profits be sure to scale back in by buying small amounts even at the higher price.  Also if the ex-dividend date is approaching and you want to catch the dividend you will want to scale back in as well.  Use a dollar cost averaging strategy to get back in so you don’t miss any potential big upswings.



Note: I took another position into TSLA as it climbed back up today.  It may pull back after earnings this week but I want to be in a position to ride it higher if it doesn't.
