Check out their financial statistics on Yahoo finance. Lots of free data . . . and study their chart. Also look at the sales trends . . . then decide for yourself, based on how long you can hold if it goes south for awhile. ( All stocks have a roller coaster pattern, you can see it on the chart. How long can you ride the down cycle ? )

From your question, I assume that you are an investor not a trader. So, first you must know whether you are a value investor, a growth investor, or some other philosophy. This philosophy will hopefully provide many forms of guidance including guidance about how to make a sell decision (or series of decisions, if you close out a position with a series of sales).
Then you can apply the measures appropriate to your investing philosophy to a particular equity at a particular point in time in a particular set of market conditions (such as Google common at this time). Then you should look at the size of purchase of equity (# of shares) that is appropriate for your selected approach to risk. If this size is small (i.e. $400.), then, in some cases, you might prefer to purchase a stock with a lower price where you had the opportunity to purchase more shares.

Or, the way in which to commence a small organisation on your individual and make some genuine funds.
