So you bought a stock and it's done good and you're making money, maybe even lots of it.
Now what?
- First, why did you buy it? That'll often help you decide when to sell.
- Second, is it still going up? Have a line in the sand, using charts, at which you sell.
- Third, is the news still all good? Bad news means to sell.

- "However, due to the immense interest from the public, as well as international investors to date, we decided to extend the period by 2 more weeks.

After the results, are any FAANGs worth buying?
FAANGs, a mixed bag with Meta (NASDAQ code: META) the biggest loser.
Is it worth buying or what of the other FAANGs?
Apple (NASDAQ share code: AAPL) and Amazon (NASDAQ code: AMZN) would be my picks. Why buy the losers?
