Yet Ovidius - you see my post clearly supports the concept of taking the original investment off the table. Not even the smallest inference exists in my post supporting manipulation or pumping. Somehow you applied a whole different meaning to my post - taking it completely out of its context and manipulating it to your own point of view. My words were clear and achieved the simple, obvious goal of supporting good investing. Your interpretation is yours and is just that - your interpretation. It exists as an entirely separate entity from the clear and direct meaning of my post. You have added complexity and motive that comes from you and not the post. That's fine - but please recognize the process that has occurred and understand that when you apply a different meaning to someone elses communications you are basically making things up and projecting from self onto someone else.
