Bob, there is an easy solution to your problem. Most professional traders use what is known as the incremental sell rule. You can sell 1/3 of your position, or 1/2 if you choose, and lock some profits in. The biggest mistake a lot of people make is, going all or nothing. By taking some profit now, it relieves the stress and frustration of knowing where to sell. If the stock continues higher, you benefit. If it starts to fall, you benefit. It's a win-win situation. Manage greed and fear by using the incremental sell rule. Just another perspective. dabum

News wires are now confirming Al Hassan captured by Syria and handed over to Iraqi authorities. Articles I read also indicate Syria is under intense pressure from many sides to get more in line with where the rest of the world is. It looks like this handover was done out of fear for what Israel might do in response to what the israeli's feel was a Syrian sponsored act of violence that damaged the Israeli-Palestinean truce. The Iraqis also said they EXPECT to capture Al Zarqawi very soon. That seems a bit odd.
