Hmmmmmm.... SBAS goes up to 12 3/8. You sold at 11 3/4. Could of sold at open for more money and delay capital gains another 15 months. I'm sure you wouldn't of sold during the morning panic..... Looks like SBAS is recovering...

While we can all sit here and comment on sell points, remember that a profit is not a profit until it is sold. It also depends heavily on your reasoning behind the trade...traders need to take consistent profits out of the market to realize income, investors may be intermediate term or long term. And, a stock like SBAS that is heavily day traded can move on a dime...so we shouldn't fault anyone for taking profits, no matter what the tax implications. I, myself, have made a new years resolution to consult my astrologer exclusively for the best sell points. ;-)
