I have no idea whether your money would be better off elsewhere - nobody here has a crystal ball. If you are convinced by the company, then stay on board.

Just look at how much other stocks have lost in the mini Trump crash. And how little it affected Linde, so you can be glad to have such a robust stock in your portfolio in these times.

I think it's great when shares move sideways for a while immediately after you buy them. If they go up straight away, you're angry that you didn't buy more. If they fall, you are also annoyed for obvious reasons. That's why it's actually ideal if you have the feeling that you're getting Linde or Microsoft at a fair price and you don't have any long-term stomach aches with these companies

Keep it simple. You should have a little patience. If it goes sideways for 10 years then you might consider it. I have them myself.

if you are pursuing a dividend strategy, it's ok if it moves sideways, just hold until the bitter end.
if you want fast price growth, this is not the right stock for you.

you won't get far without a plan.

i also have it and am happy about the constantly rising dividends, linde is fundamentally in a good position, also in the future.
it doesn't bother me that the share price is not moving 🤷‍♂️

Hold. Linde is a very strong and well-diversified company. Many stocks are currently moving sideways and if you are convinced, then holding on to them should not be a problem. Only invest in companies you are convinced of. The current time would actually be good for standing orders in order to take fluctuations and sideways movements with you. And the annual dividend increases are also very good compensation, in my opinion. And this is also tax-free, as the company is domiciled in the UK
More is not possible

I am also invested. Would definitely continue to hold.

With my large positions and will continue to be saved, even if it is currently going sideways, I expect significant upside potential and stability at the same time

Linde is a great company and a great share. Just be patient!

If you had a strategy, you could answer the question yourself.
So: look for a tested strategy first and then decide. You have time.

@Epi very helpful comment, you can't even ask the opinion of others anymore.🤦‍♀️

••

Epi@Epi

2Semana

@Semos25 Sure, you can. If you ask for an opinion, you'll get it. Whether you like it or not. 😁

Apparently I've hit on a point, though. Without a strategy, it doesn't really matter whether you hold or sell the stock, you will always lose. If not with Linde, then with the next share. 🤷

@Epi There's nothing wrong with your statement, but insinuating that I don't have a strategy isn't the polite thing to do. You may have more experience or be a professional. But let me have the experience and know how to build 😊

Epi@Epi

2Semana

@Semos25 Okay, so what's your strategy?

••

~ S.@Semos25

2Semana

@Epi actually buy and hold, but if I no longer think a share makes sense then I am happy to switch. Dividends are not so important for me at the moment. I already suspect that this phrase "back and forth empties your pockets" will come up. But thank goodness it hasn't happened yet.

@Semos25 "Buy and hold until I don't feel it anymore." doesn't really sound like a sophisticated strategy. 😬
Now you also have an answer to the question of why you don't know what to do with the stock. 🫡

@Semos25
Buy and hold is perhaps not a bad approach. If Dear Semra is really on the lookout for buy and hold stocks. Buy and hold stocks have proven to be robust in the past, which might not be a bad thing in times of Trump. Because they are often moat stocks. Of course, a strategy also includes the necessary diversification. But I think you will be happy to advise dear Semra on this

@Tenbagger2024 The most ingenious B&H4ever stocks were once $GE (before the share merger) and $BP.. You can see how far you would have come in the last 30 years.
I maintain that B&H only makes sense with index ETFs. Everything else is kamikaze or self-deception.

@Epi there are enough other examples of good buy and hold stocks over 10-20 years. Like FICO, Constellation Software etc.

••

Epi@Epi

2Semana

@Tenbagger2024 Of course there are!
But how do you know BEFOREhand whether a share is a B&H share?
The two examples were considered THE B&H stocks par excellence in 2000-2005. At the end of the 90s, I think it was $DTE and AOL. In the late 80s it was Nippon Steel and whatnot.
My point: these stocks, which had the best charts, stories and fundamentals back then and were in everyone's portfolio, have all become pipe dreamers. The same will happen to 80% of the supposed B&H stocks in the portfolios here. It's always been like this and there's no reason why it won't stay that way.

i had the share too, not a big position but still. i thought about it and decided to put the money elsewhere.
in principle, linde is and remains a very good company, of course. i wouldn't sell the shares just like that, unless you really decide to make a change.

Although Linde has been moving sideways for around a year, the share price has performed extremely well in the years before. After such a strong run, it is completely normal and even healthy for the share to take a break and consolidate.
The key question is not whether your money would currently be better off in another share or another asset. Rather, you should consider: Does Linde still fit in with your investment strategy? And do you still believe in the business model and the future of the company you are invested in?
