Sell or hold Many happy holders of Halma may be wondering whether to cash in especially as we are now looking at a forward earnings of over 22x. My shares have almost doubled since buying May 2010.The issue is why sell when they aim to double sales and profits roughly every five years.if that can be achieved going forward then it is likely the shares will maintain their premium rating . They may dip 10% in rough markets as we had last month and that should be seen as a buying opportunity possibly. I can't think of a safer ,more consistent or better place to invest my capital than Halma.One for old age .
