How to sell shares ?
By now you have come to know how the shares are bought. Now let us know that when we have bought the shares, then how to sell those shares?
How To Sell Shares : To sell shares, you have to select the shares from your portfolio which you want to sell. Then you have to click on the Sell button. Now enter the quantity of the stock you want to sell. After this, you can easily sell shares by clicking on confirm.
But before selling the share, you must check that how many returns you have received on that share. Apart from this, what is the difference between the price of both when you bought the stock and when you are selling the stock today.
- If you are selling shares of a company just because the market is down, then you should not do so.
- Rather, if there is a decline in the stock market, you should buy more shares of good fundamentally strong companies and not sell them.
And How to sell shares, the most important thing related to this-
Keep in mind that the price at which you are selling the shares or the profit at which you are selling the shares is not such that you are paying brokerage charges more than the profit.
Yes, a lot of new investors make such mistakes in the beginning when they buy and sell shares.
Let’s look at an example of this;
Suppose you bought a share for 5000 rupees and sold it for 5030 rupees. Because you think that (5030–5000) = 30 rupees your profit will be done.
But it is not like that… you will make loss instead of profit if you sell the stock at Rs.5030.
I am saying this because nowadays most of the broking apps charge a brokerage of Rs.20 on each trade i.e. buying and selling of shares.
So when you bought a share at a price of Rs.5000, then you would have been charged a brokerage of Rs.20 and instead of Rs.5000, Rs.5020 would have been deducted from your demat account.
Then when you sell for Rs 5030, then again you have to pay a brokerage charge of Rs 20. Apart from this, GST, STT, SEBI etc. are also charged separately.
So in this way you have seen that on buying and selling shares, we have to pay Rs 40 only as brokerage fee.
Means when you buy a share of Rs.5000 and sell it for Rs.5030, then you do not get profit but loss, that is why always buy and sell shares after thinking.
