If you were a seasoned investor you would know trading stocks is pure gambling as black swans occur - i agree that selling at 1.5 and repurchasing now was a good call in hindsight however the CGT you paid (i think you are likely on the lowest taxable bracket by looks of it) actually yields a low return given the likelihood to have shot up on good news (which unfortunately it has not yet)

End of the day in this instance buying the capital raising and selling was prudent however do not kid yourself that it was due your intuition that served you well , pure luck . Eventually traders like yourself get stuck on the wrong side of luck! (and statistics have shown that buy and hold yields greater returns than trading in the long term)
