Sharon, please think about a few things.
1) If you'd be unhappy holding out for 35 and ending up with 18, then lower your sights, or
2) Consider selling Jan 25, 30 or 35 calls against your stock, or
3) Hold for the long term, which may be a bit volatile but will get you a nice result in the end. (DBCC may be acquired at some point in the near future, even this year; you're likely to end up with somebody's stock you like and thus, you can hold for a LT cap gain if you wish.)
You seem very eager and I don't know what your basis is, but I'd like your experience here to be a success, not a disappointment. Don't get caught in the hype, even here. Understand that most people don't have a clue.
BTW, I'm a long term player. I satisfy my urge for "action" with options; for DBCC, I bought calls; not selling my stock. (Not recommending you trade options, only that you might consider writing (selling) covered calls to take you out or provide some downside protection.)
BAM |
