<<They were up too much to sell and suffer cap gains. >> Jill, I went through the same scenario earlier in the summer; although mine was only a 5 bagger from WCOM. However with some good persistent nudging from LindyBill ( via PMs ); I was able to sell it to allow the cash become an 8 bagger (less taxes )instead of falling back to 3.5. Although now I have to deal with the capital gains, but looking back it was good to sell a King or Prince to buy that Gorilla called Q. And we have high taxes in Canada, I will have to pay ~ 38%. Short term pain for long term gain, I hope. Cheers, David PS: The numbers above were only for reference, since you may have 100 + bagger and need to have a great accountant to help you out or move to an island where they look after this inconvenience.
