Micron MU stock - continue hold or selling

Hello everyone. Micron (MU) stock is doing well the last few weeks. I’m sure this won’t continue forever. I’m wondering what factors you all look for before selling the stock.

It has been doing well for my portfolio but want to make sure I sell on time and don’t lose the money it gained. Thank you. submitted by /u/Aromatic_Life9
