Before I buy a shares in a particular company I will research and look at future prospects, due to the limited amount of money I’m sticking in (relatively speaking) to make my investment worthwhile I’m looking for quite large returns, I’m talking about 25% upwards.
I have an initial get out price target but this is always changing due to news / traders reaction to the share in question, it really depends what’s going on with the company, for example I’d be a fool to say, wow look at my RRL shares nice 25% gain time to cash them in, however If I got a 25% gain on my MTA I’d be off!
Temptation might be to cash in on quick rises and gains, but for the likes of RRL / MTV / LDP i'm in for the longhaul.
