Stocks or stock

Hi everyone, I was wondering which of the following sentences you considered correct:

You should always sell your stocks* for a higher price than you bought *them

You should always sell your stock* for a higher price than you bought *it

I'm leaning towards the plural usage here, but i'd be grateful for a second opinion!

Thanks in advance!
