Should You Sell or Hold?
Sell (book profits) is a good option if :
You have only got the shares for the listing-day profits and for instant profits. The stock already jumped 42% in one day, and it may cool down in the upcoming days.
Hold is a good option if:
You trust the company and think that it may grow strongly in the long run.
Buy only if:
If you think the price will drop in the coming days. And if you believe in the company’s long-term growth.
