Rightly said, vicole.True. That’s the essence of smart investing—turning market gains into real-life wins while keeping a portion for potential upside. Locking in profit for immediate needs and letting a small 'moonbag' ride is exactly how disciplined investors balance risk and reward.
I didn't get what you said here @AdegoroyeThose that have been taking bet for more than decade ,how can they just change their method to stock market and be betting every month and see what will happen in five years time
Smiles... True talk.Absolutely. Don't sleep on virtual gains
RightWhat a transparent and powerful thread! @mtuns, selling at ₦70 to pay school fees is the ultimate 'Investment Success.' Wealth isn't just about the number on the screen; it’s about what that money does for your life. By taking profit there, you locked in a 1,650% gain—which is far higher than the 15.06% inflation we saw in today's NBS report. You used the 'Algebra of Wealth' to solve a real-world problem. To @Blessed Amara's point, holding the remaining 5,000 units is the perfect 'Moonbag' strategy—you've already won, now you're just playing with the market's money!
RightPicking a good stocks and wait for the wonder to happen to your investment
That's a good move, AmaraI probably would have taken some profit early, but let the rest run. That’s the power of strategy and diversification.
Sure... I have done that countless number of times.But this kind of growth tests your discipline! Would you hold through the ups and downs?
You get the point.I stand with you, sometimes we are advised to take some profit
That's why maintaining strategic liquidity is key so you don't sell a winner thereby tampering with the compounding effect.good question, when Transcorp happeneed it was just cos we forgot to sell it and it did well lol. so maybe people should just have money they dont need and hope for luck .
Absolutely sirPicking a good stocks and wait for the wonder to happen to your investment
Hmmmm. Can you elaborate on your question? Are,you referring to those who do sports bet?Those that have been taking bet for more than decade ,how can they just change their method to stock market and be betting every month and see what will happen in five years time
Yes sirTrue. That’s the essence of smart investing—turning market gains into real-life wins while keeping a portion for potential upside. Locking in profit for immediate needs and letting a small 'moonbag' ride is exactly how disciplined investors balance risk and reward.
Good for youBy dividend, do.you mean holding a winner because of its dividend.
I have heard many winners for years, regardless of dividend yield or payments.
I agreeThat's why maintaining strategic liquidity is key so you don't sell a winner thereby tampering with the compounding effect.
