Pat, in general I have to agree with sound advice. It has to be sound advice that advises people to lock in their profits.
Probably if I had the ability to trade this stock in real time, I might be in and out along the way just in the manner you recommend. But, due to the reality of my situation I cannot make trading decisions during the trading day, and that means that I can't respond to short term trading conditions.
Still, my intent has been and remains to be loaded up with this stock going into the trading halt. That decision is partly dictated by the fact that I do not have the ability to buy back in quickly if the trial results are positive as I expect they will be.
Folks trading strategies differ due to differences in their interests, temperament, resources, and many other factors. I have mine, and others have theirs.
As Mao said, let 100,000 flowers bloom. Vive l'difference!
