Most often, it will be to TAKE PROFITS, but, on rare occasions, it will be to exercise a STOP LOSS at a predetermined price to adhere to strict risk management discipline.

We are entering the golden age of banking, which could last a decade, for the following reasons:
Interest rates are rising
*Rising interest rates increase bank profit margins
*A recovering economy means default rates are collapsing
*Thanks to Dodd-Frank, banks are overcapitalized
*Banks shares are cheap relative to other stocks
*The bank sector has underperformed for a decade
*With rates rising value stocks like banks make the perfect rotation play out of technology stocks.
*Cryptocurrencies will create opportunities for the best-run banks.
Bank shares have been joined at the hip with interest rates for the past eight months, and I believe that both rates and bank shares have much higher to go. With trillions in new government spending about to be approved, but not funded, it can’t go any other way.
I believe that banks shares could keep rising until long-term US interest rates hit 2.0%, up from the current 1.38%, whenever that it.
I believe that massive government borrowing and spending will drive US interest rates up through the roof and the value of the US dollar (UUP) down.
