@moneyversations I think their fear really is the price high that comes before book closure date and the fall after that. This depends on what they want to accomplish. While I note that people have different types of needs with shares, income generation people need to understand that shares are for longterm investment not short term goals. If you really want to build a strong investment with a shares you need to leave that money there. Do not touch it.
