When to Sell a Stock (and When Not To)

When should you sell a stock, and when should you hold on? Philip Fisher, the investor Warren Buffett learned from, said there are only three good reasons to sell. This video walks through all three with real examples (Buffett's IBM and Freddie Mac decisions), then the three price-based reasons that feel smart but usually cost investors money: a scary market, a falling price, and a price that has risen. At the end, test yourself on three made-up companies and take away a three-question check you can use on any stock you own.
