Not knowing what your entry point is leaves me without a reference level. I'm a little greedy myself, at least Greedy enough to stay in Coms until the IPO, and also to keep a close eye on it until then. $26 entry, but that is immaterial. The fact is, no matter what price was paid, all COMS shareholders hold the same asset with the same present value and the exact same potential to appreciate from that present value. I can also never understand the perspective that those who hold appreciated shares are somehow "greedier" than those who sell. If anything, the sellers are "greedier" because they are the ones who are "afraid" of losing their gains. In reality, the name of the game is to increase your assets so whether one sells or holds, greed has nothing to do with it. Greed is an attitude. Nothing wrong with becoming wealthy. Greed describes the people who become wealthy at the expense of others, paying sub-standard wages, cutting safety, health or environmental corners to achieve that last "extra" bit of profit. Bux
