Dana, I sold because I've had a 60%, 180%, 68% gain. So I left another 35+% gain on the table. I tried to do even better than that but my levels weren't met? so, I missed one run. I feel the stock is currently way above my expectations. A pullback is imminent. JMO... Yes, you are very correct about market apprehensions! I don't take losses well! I am somewhat bearish the next 3 months....So I don't mind being on the sidelines when I'm not 100% sure of a successful trade. other stocks I'm in and like: ORCL,AFCI I took AJ's advice and I did buy some TRAC before close @ 10 5/16....yes, I think that one is overbought as well a very ST trade!. All other transactions are daytrades....had a nice gain in RMBS this week. ...besides I don't care what people think about whether I'm in/out when it comes to MY capital! Taking profits is the smartest trading strategy I know. Taking losses isn't! ok...Play that Kenny Rogers song now.<g> Jeff

Buying and Selling excessively only provides more money to Uncle Sam in the way of cap gains and brokers through commissions. If you truly like a stock, market dips (not news related stock dips) should be used to buy more stock. Use logic, you guys...you're all so bullish on PQT...put your money where your mouth is, "buy on dips." DISCLAIMER: I understand this stock has gone up and down, and up and down. Therefore each "run-up" has to be treated for whatever it is worth. At the present moment we are in the midst of a run, thus making the above theories relevant. Of course, when the run is over, it's time to unload. Good luck.
