Ah, the trade vs. hold dilemma lol. I would guess that this decision might be based on your investment strategy, knowledge of the fundamentals, faith in management, tax considerations, and other factors. The middle ground between trading and holding is to hold a core position and trade the rest. Instead of selling all your MUEI, you might experiment with trading a higher percentage of your position.

I personally don't see a catalyst to push MUEI outside its trading range one way or the other right now. The stock has enough perceived value at about 9 1/2 to keep it above that. However, the company isn't doing well enough to push the stock above resistance. The stock has been in a narrowing trading range since about September. Each rally has been met with resistance at a lower price and each decline has been met with support at a higher price. This is typical of how a stock trades when investors are indecisive about the future fundamentals. The breakout, which ever way it goes, should give an important intermediate term trading signal. I would think that a close above 13 would be bullish and a close below 9 1/2 would be bearish. I don't have enough confidence in Micron's fundamentals to hold a position in the stock so I have just been trading it. I don't know enough about their potential as a buy out candidate but the stock isn't acting like this is imminent.

Best of luck with whatever you decide.
