It’s important to note that while these stocks have impressive ratings, they may be extended beyond their buy zones and have climbed well above their 50-day moving averages. Once a stock moves over 5% above the 50-day moving average, the likelihood of a pullback or pause increases. Therefore, it’s crucial for investors to stay grounded and have rules for when to sell stocks to lock in gains and minimize losses.
