On Thursday, Wall Street enters the so-called "worst six months" of the year for stocks. According to the Stock Trader's Almanac, investors should invest in stocks from November to April, and switch to fixed-income investments from May to October. Using this strategy, a $10,000 investment compounded from 1950 to 2002, had a $457,103 gain in the November-April period, versus a loss of $77 for the May-October period, the almanac said. biz.yahoo.com

wei you seem to be focused on a single sector one that has run 100-200% fantastic gains for you is there a point though where the so called "easy" money has been made and where the near term downside risk outweighs the possible upside? if you still love the sector maybe have 10-25% of your total equity in it for the very long term but resist new buys until or if there is a serious pullback rather than dipping early as an aside, looking at the charts I would actually consider shorting them with a stop just above the recent highs or boxing the longs with the same stops on the shorts
