Although you are very optimistic about their turnaround potential and believe that your stocks will deliver strong total returns moving forward, you are sometimes baffled as to why your stocks are not going up when your gut feelings and instincts suggest otherwise.
If you are have this dilemma and thinking aloud whether to keep, buy more or sell off the stock you have, my short article below might be of help.
How to know if your stock is going to RALLY one day?
There are many many reasons why a stock will RALLY going forward and I am quoting the reasons based on my own trades to illustrate the points.
1. The stock has a bullish chart pattern.
2. The financials of the stock improved from previous quarter by a large amount.
3. The stock is in a sector in play now.
4. The stock is a beneficiary of something eg . US$ increase, palm oil prices, tariff hikes, breakout of a disease etc.

So if you have a sleeping stock do not despair if you have a few things going on like the above. But a word of warning ...
