Don't be greedy. Stay w/ what you like long-term. At the end everything works out quite great. If you really like to gamble, start selling puts & calls. Right now, you can get $6-8 premiums for Feb 110, not a bad return in 12 days, given the stock is @ 108-109. You can sell Feb 100 puts and still get $3-4 premiums. AOL/NSCP, CPQ, DELL, MSFT, INTC - these are great companies to diversify your investment. I have burnt too much of my profits trying to 'tap dance' w/ my portfolio. Try rubbing you tummy w/ one hand and tapping your head w/ another and 10 seconds later tap your tummy & rub your head, keep doing that for 3 minutes. Let me know how well you do. This is not a good analogy, just for fun to see how your mind works w/ expected changes. Just imagine how it would w/ unexpected changes!! -Nilesh.
