I bought vodafone shares at 150p, now 112p. Is it time to sell or should I buy some more?

Answer 1

depends what you think the stock will do.

I've had a look at the stock and brief glance at the news, I would personally sell based on the recent trend and the lack of positive news.

It'll will bounce back at some stage in the future, it is near its historical support line, but it also depends why you have the shares. Are you looking to hold onto them long term or are you trading?

If you have them long term, you may want to consider buying some more for cost averaging. IF trading, cut your losses and go for another stock which is not on the ftse100 as they are not good for trading generally.

My opinion only, whatever you do, learn from it. ANd fgure out why youbought the stock in the first place and your motivations. The most important thing in trading is your psychology, get that right and do not get emotional with stocks. I know people who bought a stock because their football team has the logo on their shirts! Not good!

Stick to the facts, check out the stock patterns and the health o f the company. Look at how the stock has performed over 5 years to see what sort of "perosnality" it has and whether it fluctates or stays stable.

Looking at Vodaphone, it may take a while to get upto 210p again, but it will.

Decide why you have the share and formulate your plan from their.
Good luck, it is your money after all!

Answer 2

Clearly, the charts say that the stock is in uncharted waters here. It has ramped up pretty good over the past three years without really establishing any bases along the way.
It looks like the stock is in a free-fall mode now with the first barely visible level of support at 92.
If it breaks 92, the stock is doomed.
Find out if the stock is optionable. I know that European options are different from American options so this may not be your cup of tea.
If it were me, I would sell it now.

Best of luck to you!

Answer 3

Vodafone sold a section of their business in Japan for 11.4 billion pounds so they have plenty of money With fierce competition in the market and them losing market share practically everywhere i would advice you to sell maybe they will turn around but they spent billions buying liciences in the early days which are practically worthless today in an almost open market steer clear take a look at moving markets on the net e bay and amozone and so on

Answer 4

Is vodafone the only company you invested in or do you have a portfolio? How long did you hold them?... there are other more important question I think that will make you decide whether to sell or hold.

Answer 5

The first rule of investing is to know what your goals are. Only if you have set goals, will you know whether you are day trading, intra-day trading or investing for the long haul.

The second most important rule is to know how you are going to exit an investment, *before* you make the investment.

I would therefor suggest *it is time* to establish your goals, and then set up a plan of action to execute them.

When driving, if you don't have a destination, how are you going to know when you have arrived?

Answer 6

Hold on to what you have got. Have a look at what the companies results are and try to predict the future.

A descision to buy should have nothing to do with your current portfolio.

Answer 7

Basically you dont make or lose money untill you sell, so if you have extra cash i suggest you buy some more.

Answer 8

stock market is very low right now but Vodaphone is highly geared and the German market acquisition is suffering, hold and sell when you are in profit

Answer 9

mmmmmmmmmmm tricky, with so many new companies coming out, work out how much you lost already and if you can afford it get some more,
get me some too if you like

Answer 10

Buy more, they have to go up at some point
