For many people, they feel compelling need to realise gains on the companies they hold in their portfolio. For example, seeing that the Tesla stock went up by 200% or more in a very short timeframe may push you to click that sell button. And I will not pretend, I made this mistake in the past too. But since then, I learned the better approach, and my investing results improved significantly. Tesla stock is up 258% since I bought it on the 18th of March. I bought Tesla shares for $391 during the wave of extreme negativity surrounding the company. Such a fast growth of the share price may seem like a good reason for selling shares but is it a good enough reason? I will answer that question in this video. Today, I will tell you about the right reasons for selling a stock. I will tell you about my Tesla stock position and what is my plan going forward. I will also show you my analysis of another high growth company – PayPal, which has already become a dominant player in the payment industry. I am sure you sometimes heard… oh, you know this stock went up by 100%, and it cannot grow to the sky. So you should sell it. You should cash the profits as long as you have profits. If I think that on average Tesla stock can give me 10-15% return annually and I can find a company with expected returns of 20-25%, that would mean that I should not hold Tesla stock. I cannot see that being a case for Tesla. I expect the Tesla stock will grow at least 10% annually in the long term from the current levels. It may be another 50% this year and a few years of stagnation of a stock price which was the case for Tesla stock in 2014 – 2018 or it can be a climb of a stock price of 10% each year. - growth of a Tesla stock price in the long term I can easily imagine the Tesla market capitalisation at the level of half a trillion dollars or more in 10 years or even earlier. So in terms of Tesla, even though the Tesla stock price seems to be inflated... - possible correction on the Tesla stock - Tesla will be a much bigger company - Tesla - one of the dominant players in car manufacturing, and you have to know that it is just one of the businesses in which Tesla operates. Tesla is creating the ecosystem for electric vehicles and solar panels and solar roofs solution. So another company I want to talk about today is PayPal. PayPal has undergone an explosive rally in its share price. PayPal stock went up by 98.36% since I bought shares to my portfolio. PayPal is the online payment provider that is the winner from the transition to cashless societies globally. But would I buy PayPal shares now? Probably not... and that makes me think about selling these shares. Let's look at PayPal stock The lockdown and transition to electronic payments appeared to be better for PayPal than for Square. Square is growing to become a competitor, but I do not see Square as having an advantage over PayPal so far. Both Tesla stock and PayPal stock are up significantly since I added these positions to my stock market portfolio. I hope for the correction to add more shares of Tesla to my portfolio. I can see the company being one of the big tech companies in the future, and I want to benefit from its growth. The transition to the greener economy and progress in self-driving technology will still be factors helping the company to grow. It is an excellent choice for the long-term portfolio. PayPal also remains a great company. And I am happy with my current holding. The digital payments business that PayPal specialises in was only growing in importance before the lockdown. For now, I am not selling PayPal stock from my portfolio.
