SEI brings up an interesting question - long been my basic weakness. "When to sell?" A particularly hard question for a cyclic, or for that matter, a value investor. I've done OK recently by combining two strategies. In the first, I automatically sell a chunk on a certain % gain. In the other (the more difficult of the two) I sell when the share price crosses what I think is "fair valuation" (which is usually too low). The sell side of this market has been the toughest for me to understand. But FWIW, that's what I did with SEI. But if it retreats below 7, perhaps back on the buy side.
