Selling Stocks Now and 2 Months Later

You are having shares of a company worth $5,000. You are thinking of selling that shares now or waiting for 2 more months.

Let’s say, after 2 months, shares would be worth $6,000. If you sell the shares now, then your opportunity cost would be 6000-5000= $1,000, which you could have gotten if you would have waited for 2 more months.
