Sep,
There is no guarantee of selling on market at 55c.
It's not a 10% risk free gain, plus the deal is conditional.

Gus decided to take profit off the table today and realise a gain, an action he directly controls.

You decide to wait say 3 months, for a possible 10% gain, that is not risk free, locking away your cash in hope (without control) that at a later time elements will transpire as you see them.
Each to their own, but hardly worth shooting Gus down for what many might see as entirely reasonable.
