I had an 18 bagger in Ansal properties in just 2 years time
did not sell though I am not in a loss my gains have come down from 1700% in 2 years to 35% in 5.5 years
It is very dicey to say when a stock tops or when a sector looses its sheen

Originally posted by chimak10 I was just talking about buying the stocks selling has to be done on your own. In 1996-2003 most non tech companies were selling at throw away MCAP with lot of value and growth possibility. and relatively it was also the case in late 2008 and early 2009. Most of the people don't understand this concept of MCAP relative to sector opportunity size.Plus the whole business cycle was in downtrend then. Selling the companies ........now this is an art which no one has learned. Not even buffett or peter lynch or RJ or arora. A person should sell the stock when he feels that the company is not performing, or he has made his target corpus from the market, or he finds more exciting stock to invest in. Or he just feels like selling it. Or that the company is quoting at godforsaken valuation which company will never be able to catch up. Or the person feels that market is overheated and will crash down. etc etc etc. No more gyaan on selling the stocks from me.

That is certainly an extreme event...Is Ansal properties a real estate stock...bcoz I remember both Samir Arora and Rakesh Jhunjhunwala were bearish on real estate stocks because of non transparent evaluations...

needed some money to pay for house, which i bought 8 months ago, so i cashed glodyne and lic hf.
