I'd like to hear at what time do you get out after buying a stock.

If some say e.g. after a 20% gain, then why do you choose that number?

I did not do a search on this topic so forgive me if the question has been asked before.

Thanks

it really depends on your risk tolerance level..some peope can tolerate to lose 20%...others are as low as 7%...you also have to consider factors such as your time horizon..when will you need to take it out?..is it for a purchase of a home or for education to name a few...then you probably wouldn't want to lose as much because you will be needing it in a short period of time...of course there are better ways to invest instead of investing individual stocks..which are more riskier and takes experience and knowledge..
