Investment : FTSE 250?

Hi. I've inherited a small investment in FTSE 250. I know what it is but I've no idea if you hold on to it or choose a time to sell. I recently had a statement - is that figure guaranteed or could it all go??? Would really appreciate someone giving me basic advice. Thanks

stocks go up and down...that's the only law. They especially go down sharply right after they have gone up sharply.

Some do seem to trend up for a long, long time. But these move up very slowly, and not without some dips. When the stock goes up, your shares are worth more...you can sell at the higher price. The reverse is true....if down, worth less.

What kind of personality does your stock have? What's the chart look like? Up and down or up up up long term?

Can you find out some info about the company that's behind the stock? Is it the kind of company that interests you? A profitable company so you could hold this investment for a while?

Some times, the right thing to do is just sell. Sometimes, you gotta buy. People have asked 'when do i do which?' for thousands of years.... good luck.

yes it could all go check the company name on share prices work out how the company has progressed so far this year ,then decide if to sell or keep the investment.
