When to sell,

Here's an idea about selling. Ask yourself if you didn't have a position would you be comfortable buying the security at these levels? If not, then you should think about selling at least some of your position (say perhaps 1/2).

Obviously the holding on strategy has worked better in the recent market, which has been basically going straight up until the past couple of weeks. However, I think risk levels increase quite a bit when your stock goes past a fair value.

Being risk averse, I tend to keep yet another Wall Street phrase in mind: pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered
