Hi all,
I hold 92 IBM shares and I'm thinking about selling them. I should say that I don't need the money right now so if the general concensus is HOLD then that'll do me fine.
The main proble seems to be getting the dollar strong wrt the euro at the same time as seeing a high share price for the stock. Would it be feasible to open a dollar account so I could sell the shares and lodge the US dollars until such a time as (if) the dollar regains some strength (I believe it will, in time recover significant strength but who knows).
Any thoughts, leave them where they are? The regular dividend means the broker fees for holding them are covered without me putting my hand in my pocket but could there be a cheaper way of holding them for the long haul, get the certs?
Any thoughts appreciated-like I said, I'm not stuck for the money but they are just sitting there and I'm thinking about them now.
