Carl,

Two thoughts ... with the increased volatility did your objective change from long term hold to shorter term trade? A "sleepy" stock that moves drastically often presents a narrow window of opportunity to exploit such. On the other hand I know it's tough to wonder how high it'll fly. Just as we need to adapt to a changing market so too with individual stocks that change their behavior.

Carl,

I think this comes under the heading of don't look a gift horse in the mouth. If the market is giving gifts, say "thank you sir", take it and move on. There are 9000 other stocks waiting for your strategy.
