I am not an expert in stock markets nor on taxation , but I notice that the article has missed on few important points of making overall profits. Though it appears prudent to sell when stocks raise , it is also adviseable to see if you have to pay Short Term Capital gains Tax(if you hold the stock for less than a year)and also if you are missing out on the Tax free dividends.
This item is an old write up which appeared earlier in this column.
Can you in future try to build new theme and new ideas instead of repeating the same after a lapse of time, thinking that the readers might have forgotten.
Notwithstanding this fact, it is good to remind the readers often.
