. And you will have bought back 1/2 the number of shares that you owned at $20. So when this stock goes back up 1,200%. It will be as if you only went up 300% because you have only half the number of shares you sold at double the price

By the way, that's faulty math. If I did this, it would be as if it only went up 600%, not 300%. You are double-counting the price increase (dividing by two twice, instead of just once).
