Does anyone know of a good website that will give honest information of whether you should be holding or selling your shares in particular companies. I have some shares in FTSE 100 companies that I want to unload but would be gutted if in 3 or 4 months time some of them had shot up by more 10% which could have been predicted?

    if people could really predict the stockmarket accurately (and that is a big if), they probably wouldn't share their secret with the world...

    the reality is these things can't be predicted with any kind of accuracy.

    Hi, arsenalboy,

    As you want to sell the shares anyway, I would say consider selling them now. Yes, it's possible that with hindsight you'll regret it later but if you don't have your own personal criteria for buying, holding and selling then you will have even greater regrets somewhere down the line, guaranteed.
