One more followup question, as we take profits in trading do you suggest to take profits from long term investments also? Like I bought long stocks with the intention to never sell otherwise in emergency situation. Is this plan right?
It depends on a whole host of factors.
1. Cyclicals like metals you have to take profits regularly because they will fall once the cycle reverse
2. Stocks like consumer you can hold for very very 20/30 years they usually are compounders
3. Similarly financials would be good
For all the long term holdings you need to watch fundamenntals if they detoriate you have to get out like PSU banks.
Never get out just to book profit and similar never stay put simply you are making losses.
With respect to entry time I have observed that generally market gives you 1/2 opportunity in an year to buy the stocks cheap but u need to have your shopping list ready with money in the bag.
