Well if we are letting our hair down a little here. Some took bioman's advice and took their base out when the opportunity knocked for them. Others , like me , HOLD a CORE position from much lower PPS but with additional funds have traded some with the swings.  So one can do BOTH, thereby not losing out on any potential expected SPIKE. Any stock you have will have swings. If you feel you can judge the ups and downs there is nothing wrong in trading. Investing does involve SOME LUCK. If DD were all it takes many here would be BILLIONAIRES already.
