quite often, selling from the 5 grander has no relation to the sentiment i have on a stock. I quite often use it as an "overflow" or a copy of my other holdings. I will trade out of a stock quicker here, as its in the public eye, and, there is the pressure of making a positive trade and avoiding losses.
With many of the stocks in the 5 grander, i will buy, and put them back in the queue straight away at a level which i would be happy with as a trade, whilst holding in my main account for longer.........both accounts are my money, and, i expect to make winning trades, however, in my main account, i am more willing to take on extra risk.
For example....CCJ and KTE, both of which i am still buying, to the point where CCJ may be a T20 position, however, in the interest of making regular and safe gains, i may trade the 5 granders parcel at say, a 20% gain.....or........may even sell at a loss to protect value, whilst still buying in my main account.
And, for anyone who wishes to have me confirm a trade, i am more than happy to post the confirmations. Its just a matter of asking.............
