Hey, you're going to become a day trader yet :-) I don't blame you for taking profit, and I agree that it is not (yet) a gorilla and may never be. OTOH, I'm surprised that you sold based on your interpretation of gorilla metrics, because I assumed you would have bought on that same basis and therefore would have held it regardless of its short term moves in either direction. OTOH, if you bought it as a snowball or some other criteria, then you did the right thing in taking profits. I am up over 100% in a month, and like their potential dominance in blue/green high power led's, and their entry into new fields such as FETs and blue lasers. So I am locking this one away along with my GMST, though I would agree that GMST has more gorilla potential in terms of value chains, standards, etc.
