How I Sell Stocks

The podcast focuses on developing effective stock selling rules, emphasizing that these are more crucial than entry rules for consistent profitability. Dr. Mansi outlines a four-part strategy: planning exits at entry, setting stop-loss to breakeven, booking profits, and cutting losses. She distinguishes between position trades (held for weeks/months) and swing trades (held 3-5 days), detailing criteria for each based on episodic pivots, IPO breakouts, and market conditions. For position trades, she advises selling half on the third leg up and the remainder when the stock goes parabolic or breaks a trend line; for swing trades, half at 2R and the rest within 3-5 days. The discussion stresses the importance of adhering to stop-loss rules to protect capital.
