Q: In response to Ben’s question on March 1 regarding to buy LMN or not you stated that if one has a time frame of 5 years or more, then he should buy it at the going price. Are you saying not to buy the stock if less than 5 year timeframe?
What if one does not use timeframes as a reference but uses percentages ? In my TFSA ( where I have my riskier stocks ) I use 20% as a point of consideration to sell. I may be leaving money on the table but I have locked in a good gain. I would appreciate your thoughts on this approach. Would your answer on LMN be the same if one used the 20% ?
Thanks . Derek
