Navellier Growth: your source for market-beating growth stocks

 

08.14.08: Hedge funds and traders worldwide seem to dominate the financial markets, since these markets are increasingly short-term and volatile. The swings in price for virtually all of the stocks you recommend is significant, and gains can be wiped out in days. So when do we sell our gains...at 10%, 20%, 30%?

That's an excellent question. Yes, some of the stocks I pick are volatile. But taken as a group, all the stocks I recommend move fairly evenly because they are diversified. My Blue Chip Growth newsletter should be the backbone of your investment portfolio, and will provide stability in this market because it is spread across multiple risk categories in multiple sectors.

For a specific stock that rises quickly, I advise you take partial profits. Don't sell the whole position, but bring it down to an "equal weight" with the rest of your stocks. That will allow you to naturally take some good profits before a stock starts to go down.

This is the strategy I recommend to all my Blue Chip Growth subscribers, and I keep them apprised when to trim profits and sell through monthy issues and weekly updates. Find out more to see if this service is right for you, too!
