Sorry that I misunderstood the thrust of your question. Now I understand that ... it BOTHERS [you] when a stock that I have purchased because it meets certain criteria is "taken over" by momentum players who don't give a damn about those criteria; in other words, when the stock becomes a "captive of the craze". There are worse things <g>. You could adapt a value investor stance and simply sell when your price points are met, or you can do what I do. When the price gets a little crazy you could buy a protective put (which will appreciate if the price of the stock drops) or you could sell an in the money call. The worst that happens in any of these situations is you realize your profits sooner rather than later. I am a long-term holder of BKS, and I see the craziness starting. I hope (and pray) that this answers your point, lest I be accused of being an eel again <G>. CTC
