Any other ways to protect my cap gain for another 2 months? That's why God invented puts, which you can buy for INSP in a variety of expiration and strike prices. Buying a put is literally an insurance policy against your stock going down in a certain period. It will not limit the upside. The "premium" is not cheap and like any insurance policy some people think it's a waste of money if there is no "claim". Others are pretty happy to have full coverage if lightning strikes.
