Lee - the dilemma you refer to is a completely disturbing one, but you have reached the proper conclusion. I had the same experience with LBRT. My tech know-it-all friend recommended it to me at about 20. I took my five points based on technical experience and ran. He is still holding all of his at 65 now. The difference - he knew the technology and potential. So it is disappointing in one regard (like the five points i took from 24 to 29 today on PVTL) to miss the ENTIRE run, but what we forget is that, as traders, we lessen the risk by not holding a position till it gets hot (or worse, never does). and, of course, trading is simply more fun for those of us with a large percentage of hot blood coursing through our systems.
