You are right, an investor must be smart to determine when to sell shares, and understand market conditions. There are also many students doing internships in financial consulting offices, and will be considered more experienced and have skills when providing information to a client.
It is important to gain experience on how to trade before you invest in stocks.

Trading and investing have different goals, so they need different management. Trading places more emphasis on short-term technical analysis to take profit on the same day, while investment places more emphasis on fundamental analysis for the long term, although investors and traders will in practice use both of these analyses.
Selling stocks largely depends on your choice and what your target was. Some people can target to get 10 per cent of what they have invested, and once that 10 per cent is achieved, They would sell of their stocks. So, I believe you can sell your stocks for whatever reason you deem it. There is no right time to selling stocks.

I think that if you target 10% it will be too small to make a profit and maybe you will lose after you take into account the cost, you also need to calculate the price earning ratio, so you will be disappointed later.
Yes, That is true also. The 10 per cent I gave is only a scenario, as to what each person might target. For me, I personally would not target making 10 per cent when trading stocks. I would be targeting above 20 per cent.

The technique of selling shares after the target is achieved is often carried out by stock traders. Money from the sale of shares is usually kept in a stock account or used to buy new shares, of course after the trader has conducted various research and analysis.
I do not really have much idea about stocks but what i do know is that most people tend to sell stocks when it is extremely high in value to generate profit, while some sell it when the price value hits rock bottom due to fear of more losses.

You are right, we can also sell shares if we have reached the profit target we expect, but sometimes the stock price continues to fall and the company fundamentally loses, and this is when we also have to sell shares to avoid bigger losses.

You are right, one of the things we sell shares is when the profit target has been achieved, and we can buy other shares. In addition, we also need to sell shares when we know from the financial statement analysis that the company will suffer losses.
