When To Sell Stocks To Lock In Profits And Minimize Losses
Texas Instruments broke out earlier, but is now around 4% below the prior 214.66 entry from a flat base. If a stock you're tracking clears a buy point then falls 7% or more below the original entry price, it's considered a failed base. Wait for the stock to set up and breakout from a new base and entry price. Also keep in mind that the most recent consolidation is a later-stage base, and such bases are more prone to failure.
Although earnings and sales growth came in at -21% and -8%, respectively, in the latest report, that marked two quarters of acceleration for EPS and one for sales.
Texas Instruments earns the No. 4 rank among its peers in the Electronics-Semiconductor Manufacturing industry group. Taiwan Semiconductor ADR is the top-ranked stock within the group.
