HG,

Don't do it!!

If that feeling is uncontrollable then buy a couple of Feb puts. That way if the stock goes down you'll have protected the profits. if it goes up, great, just be sure to set a stop of (-)15-20% on the puts.

Worst case...the stock jumps really quick (you don't have time to sell at the top) your puts get stopped out, and then the stock tanks again...but that's the stuff that only happens to me so you should be alright :)
