In reply to locking in capital gains I think you should also consider the sector, beta, and overall market in making that decision. For example I bought Potomac Electric on July 9, 2010 . Yesterday I sold after noticing I had a 34% gain in only 3 months. Seemed to good to be true. In a case like that buy another utility, change sectors that may not be as top heavy or rebalance. In my case I bought FNF after noticing it was down over 10% in the past three days, and pays a 5% dividend.
