there's no specific time to sell a stock, always look at its technical and fundamental details before making a decision. Google properly prompted you to sell it recently due to its pull back. Its nice to keep it now, as it was a pull back where it found support on its prior high. We will see how it goes the next few days before making a decision to sell. If it breaks its support on its prior high on above average volume, it will definately be a sell.

The stock has done extremely well but it is not clear why. It is way overvalued by most measures and I would not hold it at this point. If you're concerned about selling too low, then you might set a stop-loss, which means if it keeps going up, the value of your stock will keep going up, but if when it drops significantly from the top your shares will sell.\n\nBest of success.

Now that it has dropped below it's 50-day moving average, I would wait and watch a bit before jumping in.  At this point, you would like to see a reversal of trend before believing it's heading up again.  (If you're talking about shorting or closing a short sale, the answer is clearly different!)

India is doing well growth wise.  The market correction is something that occurs. It will occur again in the future.  I do not expect the the correction is over just yet, but when it is the bulls will come back. Give it a year or two. These things normally take a little time to gather steam.

Stock change is the difference between 2 prices.  The first price is usually the last price of the previous day or the first price of the current day.  The second price is the last price paid for the stock.  Subtract the first price from the second price to find the stock change.  Don't forget that your stock prices may be delayed depending on where you are getting your numbers.\n\nVolume: The number of shares or contracts traded in a security or an entire market during a given period of time. It is simply the amount of shares that trade hands from sellers to buyers as a measure of activity. If a buyer of a stock purchases 100 shares from a seller then the volume for that period increases by 100 shares based on that transaction.

the DOW is a weighted index of a basket of tocks of thirty supposedly large, diversified companies.  It's supposed to show the general trend in the market based on the confidence of investors.  Currently, if a Dow stock moves $1 in value, this results in about a 7.5 point move in the Dow.

Primary,secondary and tertiary trends in technical analysis are the long term, middle long and short term trend. \nThis is not really an answer as long, middle and short term are rather subjective terms, depending on the commodity or stock. \n\nIn technical analysis one uses not only prices (Open, High, Low and Close) but also Volume to construct indicators.
