Another change for next year: don't sell after a 35% gain.

That rule worked well in previous years, but this year it would have been a bad idea.

Better just to sell at a fixed time, for example on the first Friday of February, or (like Infostream) whenever you feel you have a ridiculously large paper gain. His early sales for that reason did not cause him to lose anything as compared to waiting till February.
