If you buy stocks and they are giving you profit you should see and wait that it will increase and give you more profit. So wait and see what's going to happen and than take the decision.

Not Enough Reinvestment: If you have earned profit from buying a stock. You should reinvest some of the money into that business again by doing that it will generate more profits for you and the reinvested earning can compound over time means it will give you more profit
