Useful Term used below -Stop Loss: The point at which I will cut my position is called Stop Loss.
Qualcomm stock is in a range of around 30 to 55 from 5 years.So there is no clear uptrend or downtrend in this stock.
What do I do now?
If I don't hold the stock then:
Stock is in a range of 30 to 56.So I buy the stock at around 30 and sell it around 50.One day it will breakout above 56 or breakdown below 30 which nobody knows and till that that time its best to trade assuming that it will be in range which it is doing for last 5 years.
Note: The day it crosses 56 and stay above that for few days then this stock will be a compelling buy and vice versa.
If I hold the stock:
I would keep a trailing stop loss at the recent support of 42.50 from here on to protect my profits and let the stock move up ward and we follow that.
Note: The Stop losses needs to be updated regularly.

Thanks for your valuable input Guarav. So r u suggesting that we sell as soon as the stock goes below 42.5?
ReplyDeleteYes.But if the stock keeps moving up then we should move the stop loss value 42.5 higher with time that I will update.Thanks for reading the blog.
