When and how to determine when to take gains?

Honest question.

​

Usually you buy a stock because you find it valuable, and you set an exit price for when you believe its stock price is now too high, and you take gains and get out.

​

However, with the current AI growth/bubble, how are you determining this?

​

For example Google is up over 100%, but the consensus is that you should buy Google today. So, when do you take gains? And if the answer is right now anyways, how much?

​

And what about crazy stocks like SNDK that's up 700%+ this year?

​

I'm so confused now, and I feel like P/E and almost any other indicator is meaningless.

​

Thank you for your help.
