Been there, done that my friend. Part and parcel of owning shares.
I did the same with PES, having bought 211,111 shares at around the 20-24 cents mark, from memory.
Sold about 180k at between $1.80 and $2.70 or thereabout, (after my financial advisor talked me into it), and two days later, BINGO, the first announcement of a takeover from AOE at around the $5 mark. I SIMPLY COULD NOT BELIEVE IT.
I then sold another 20k of them at between $5 and $6 dollars not thinking that someone else was coming into the battle/scene, and kept the remaining 11,111 shares as a good luck number and then finally sold them at around the $7.50 to $8 mark.
I don't want to go and look at the exact figures, because it would upset me to go back and revisit the situation once again. But, I do understand where you are coming from.
I did very well out of them but, hell I could have done a hell of a lot better though.
