\"signs<\/a>Nobody wants to be on the losing end of a stock market investment<\/a>, but it happens. The good news is you can avoid potential financial devastation by recognizing a few key signs that often indicate when it’s finally time to sell stock in a company. Here are seven of the biggest:<\/p>\n

Your Exit Strategy Says It’s Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gambling is tricky. When I play blackjack at the casino, I always tell myself that I’ll leave the table if I lose the money I started with, or if I make a predetermined profit off my initial investment — but it rarely works out that way. My own greed and the free-flowing booze almost always derails my plans and I keep pressing my luck even after I’ve reached my “win” or “loss” thresholds. That’s exactly what you don’t<\/em><\/strong> want to do with your stock.<\/p>\n

According to finance expert David Bakke, “It’s a good idea to adopt an exit strategy<\/a> when buying stocks for planning purposes,” he says. In other words, on the day you buy a stock, set your buy and sell price thresholds and then stick to it.<\/p>\n

The Company’s Strategic Positioning Has Deteriorated<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The technology industry can change on a dime; one day the tech is groundbreaking, the next day it’s useless. Marvin H. Doniger, author of A Common Sense Approach to Successful Investing<\/em>, suggests jumping ship when the latter happens. If you hold stock in a company whose intellectual property or products are being phased out in favor of something else — and your company doesn’t have a competing concept — hit the road before the company takes a dive.<\/p>\n

The Reason You Bought Is No Longer Valid<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Perhaps you bought a firm’s stock because they were developing a new drug that showed promise. But if that drug fails its tests, says Doniger, you really don’t have a reason to hold on to the stock anymore. You bought into it because you thought it would succeed. If that doesn’t happen, then bid the stock adieu.<\/p>\n

Another reason to sell would be if the company is experiencing a decline in sales, revenues, profits, or cash flow. It may also be time to sell after your company is bought out, or merges with another company.<\/p>\n

Key Employees Leave the Company<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When there’s a shake-up at the company, investors get weary — especially when key employees responsible for the company’s success are taking a walk.<\/p>\n

“Will Berkshire Hathaway’s performance be as stellar as it was after Warren Buffett leaves?” Doniger asks. “Probably not. Sell.”<\/p>\n

The Company Starts Making Uneven Moves<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When usually calm people start acting erratic, it raises your suspicion, right? Something must be up! Similarly, if a company you invested in starts taking risks<\/a> that are out of character, watch out.<\/p>\n

“The best way to know if it’s time to sell a stock is if the fundamentals change,” says entrepreneur and private investor AJ Saleem. “For example, if you’re holding a company that’s extremely conservative about acquisitions, but then starts acquiring random companies, it’s time to sell.”<\/p>\n

Consumer Tastes Change Industry Dynamics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here today, gone tomorrow is an increasing trend within today’s retail industry. We’ve seen the demise or near-demise of retail giants like Sears and Sports Authority, while usually safe bets like Walmart closed more than 250 stores<\/a> around the world in recent years, including 154 in the United States.<\/p>\n

“One has to look no further than today’s retail industry to see the destruction that online vendors such as Amazon have done to brick-and-mortar retailers like as Sears and Macy’s,” says Doniger.<\/p>\n

Government Regulations Challenge the Company Business Model<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Statewide smoking bans in enclosed public spaces routinely challenge the cigarette market. That, combined with increased health and fitness awareness, and stores — like CVS — pulling cigarettes from shelves altogether, present Big Tobacco with more than a few hurdles. Similarly, taxes on sugary drinks present problems for soft-drink makers, like Coke and Pepsi<\/a>. If a proposed regulation may affect your stock, then sell it before it’s enacted. Fortunately, you should have plenty of lead-time since these types of regulations have to jump through more than a few hoops before they’re finally enacted.<\/p>\n
