When a stock you plan to hold reaches your target price. Should you take the profit off the table or just pull the original investment and let the profit ride?

This is on Baba. I don't want to sell everything off but also don't want to lose my profit of it goes back down to the 90's.

Revisit your thesis, revisit the share outlook. Are there catalysts ahead? Think about opportunity costs for your money. If you think it has 10% upside, what alternatives are there for 10%+ expectations? How is the risk profile of those alternatives? You could take profits on partial shares.

PLUG reports tomorrow before the bell. No whammy, NO WHAMMY, NO WHAMMIES!!!!

[1carcrazyguy]

Whammy.... Just means I will add some more shares in the short term. I think the company is getting enough big companies to sign, that it will be successful at some point.

[03mustangdude]

Might have to add some on this drop too.

I was hoping for a better qtr and a quick jump but I was also committed to go long if needed. The only thing that makes me worry is listening to the CEO talk during the earnings reports. He does not instill confidence at all.

Just hope that with all the companies that have already signed with them, more will follow suit! I hope anyway. If WalMart, Coke and companies like that have signed with PLUG, they must be doing something right. You know those companies have done the research to go with what they think is the best in each field.

You'd think that but I've seen disney invest couple hundred thousand in a penny stock and it go down 60%+. Most of the time its a pr thing for these companies unless they are spending millions of dollars.

What I was talking about is that Coke and Walmart signed with PLUG to provide forklift fuel cell units. You know these large companies have spent a ton of time and money to figure out which product will provide the best results. Then when other large companies (Target, Costco, Pepsi, Amazon..etc) see that Walmart use PLUG (or any other) product. They will start thinking if their company could benefit from using the same product.

waiting to see if I can pick up some plug for 4.25 today if not that's ok.

[snacksnack]

4.17 so far today.

[1carcrazyguy]

So did you pick up some more late in the day? I talked myself out of it until it gets under $4. Probably would have bought some but I was watching my ICPT, PLUG, FCEL, and JCP all drop like rocks.... I could not stomach spending anything just yet.

[03mustangdude]

Ya picked up some at 4.25 before it tanks always happens to me lol

They have a good foothold in a slowly emerging market. The biggest problem is they have been doing this for 17 years and people are starting to give up on them after many broken promises. The new markets they are trying to tap could be huge, especially the ground support vehicle market. FedEx is very interested and could be a huge money tree for plug. If any big GSE customer comes on board I think it would be a domino effect in that market. I think it will take a few more quarters to really start seeing positive earnings that will have the big money investors taking another look.

[1carcrazyguy]

Well today looks like a good day to stock up on PLUG. Just can't force myself to buy anything with almost all my holdings in the red.

Japan in a quadruple dip recession? No worries just keep on pumping....
