Thanks for the link. I scouted around the web this weekend & still came up empty as to the BIG move up. Investors Business Daily made mention of CPWM but only reported the price/volume move up but didn't give any meaning to the reason for it. As for selling 'they' say if you're nervous about what you own you should sell to the point where you can sleep at night. It's simplistic, but it does work. No crime in taking a profit. You can always buy-back in. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. The year is almost over & personally I'd like to wait til next year simply to delay owing any cap gain tax til 4/99 if possible. But then again, if it shoots way up I'd be tempted to sell also. Buying is easy-selling is the hard part. Monday is going to be interesting.
