my .02

A year and a half ago, a lot of people were in LOVE with Bonds that paid 9%, and they jumped all over them because
'everything else is dead'.

If you are happy with making 25% in a months' time, and don't think it will go any higher, or, if you think it will fall, or, you don't have any better ideas on what to invest in, sell now and make your 25% and be happy.

Don't get too awfully greedy if you are uncomfortable.

Re: <<exit strategy>>

Here's one of the better exit strategies. Use a trailing stop order and just sit back and ride the stock up. When the stock drops, your trailing stop will get you out of the stock. This way you don't have to worry about picking a sell price.
