True enough. I could have had a 10+ bagger in Cisco had I timed it right. In fact, I did sell a bunch of shares, maybe 10-15% of my Cisco holdings at the time, in early March 2000. But I consider that sale blind luck and don't attribute it to any special genius I have. So if you are saying that you are a smart cookie because you timed it right, I'll tell you right now that you should do yourself a favor and get rid of those illusions right now, if you want to keep your profits. Timing is just like gambling in Vegas. You may win sometimes, but you lose just as often and maybe more.
