if they go way up, when does one get out?, page-3

Thanks Scarin for the reply, I have a grasp on Trailing Stop Loss already. I was more asking about the correlation between share price and company value and the effect that successful drilling results will play on these things.
For instance, if the first 3 wells find substantial O & G and we assume the other 15 will also, does that give us an estimate of what the SP will be after 18 wells are drilled and where we should be selling for maximum return.
With the amount of shares I have, we could be talking about 100's of thousands of dollars difference in profits.
Also, does the SP plateau after 10 wells and hover at that level for the long term until all wells are drilled and materials are taken?
