Hope you are still satisfied, despite leaving another 35% on the table. I actually am fine with it.

Yes, I know we missed another $2/share rise but I can't be all that upset about a 24% gain. Can't focus on what might have been. It could just as well have had trouble with the advisory panel and plummeted.

Revisiting AFFY today. You don't want to look.

Ok, I will tell you....$25+ a share.

/cry I sold my last bit at $6.40 less than a year ago

Ha, it's not the Biotech Buynhold Lounge! No regrets. I had no reason to hold that position. Happy for anyone that did though.

I actually have a remarkable track record of buying stocks, making nice profits on them, and then selling them only to watch them continue to climb far beyond where I sold them. So I'm pretty decent on the "when to buy" piece. It's the "when to sell" part that always gets me.

Do you set trailing stops or just sell when you think it's topped? Evidentally a trailing stop here and there may help in your situation.
