Hi! I invested £1,000 into a stock, and the label under what I own is green, saying +£150. I imagine this means that my investments have grown +£150. I tried to sell off £150 worth of my stock, but the green text still remained and all that changed was how much stock i own. What happened? Shouldn’t that +£150 go to zero? I feel i messed something up.
That’s not really how it works. You just sold £150 worth of your shares of which a portion of it was profit. If you wanted all £150 profit, you’d have need to sell them all.
