Gary, I got pretty lucky. I've told my story a few times, but I am not posting much these days, and I noticed there are a lot of new people on the thread (new to me anyway). My basis on ASND right now is 21 thanks to some covered calls that worked out. (also got spanked in January, so I am not perfect!)

I originally waited several months to get in, at 24 1/2 basis. One (ONE of several) of my filters has been working pretty well in the past 12 months, (and it gave a buy on COMS on Feb 18th)

here is a link to the thread for that signal.

I actually felt euphoric the day we hit 38.25. But then DSND came back to life.
Gary, I repeat that I should have my head examined for not listening to that guy who showed up on friday 2/27 and told us all to be smart and take some money off the table. He was exiting his long and buying puts, Sheeesh.... Now the question is what happens if we get a run up prior to earnings? Sell into strength or hold? Last Q we sold off $3 after earnings were announced. I will think about this one.

You need to follow "Jeffery's Dancin' Fool Rule" which states that when a stock is up so much that you are dancing around the room, it's time to sell.
Try it-works every time. ;-)
