Welcome to convert status. It's about time. You'll like it. You'll enjoy the ups and won't sweat the corrections so much, especially the longer you hold and the more unrealized gains you have. "I ... bought back shares i had unloaded very quickly. Lucky for me, i got back in before the big ramp up." You also won't have Uncle Sam taking a big bite everytime you get in and out of the stock. Hold for over a year and you will see how sanguine you can get about threats of, or an actual 20 or even a 30% correction. You will sit back and calculate that: (1) the correction has to exceed 20% or you won't even be even--much less ahead; and (2) you have to perfectly time your re-entry or you may be behind.
