Kayakujutsu,  I will give you the benefit of the doubt for the time being.

Reason #2: ??? I don't know? the recent news/hype/pumping has made TECO share go up and hold at about 50-75% of the recent lows. However, I don't know often TECO can generate news like this and the hype that goes with it. I mean, can they do this every quarter? every 6-months? once per year? and if so, then why shouldn't I sell now & buy back in just before the next big news/hype generating ploy - whatever that may be. I mean unless there are catalysts that are supposed to come through next week or next month, then why should I hold through all the uncertainty associated with this bankruptcy case, and numerous other things I've read that make me nervous. I'm also troubled about Treaty's success rate - companies in the baaken, eagleford, cline, etc have 100% success rates, but Treaty is what? 1 for 5.

Sounds like you want to sell.  You're up 70%, don't look back, sell TECO and pick one of those companies that has 100% success rate.  I don't know which one your talking about, I can't find any company on the face of the earth that has a 100% success rate doing anything, but if you do find one, be prepared to pay through the nose. You might want to give BRK.A a try, but remember even the greatest investor of our time Warren Buffet fails occasionally.
