    People thought I was mad topping up at $2.50, $2.65 and even $2.85. Dow Jones transport index hit a record overnight. Signs of economic growth around the world are looking good.

    About 7 weeks ago I sold 7000 at 2.73. They were getting to be to big a % of my portfolio. Now I know I've got a screw loose.

    Good on ya mate, good margin of safety there, buying now on the other hand, be fearful when others are greedy.

    These are on my regret list. I sold for a large parcel @ $1.98 after buying in at $1.78! I'd just sold some investment property and threw the money into shares with little to no research. Then subsiquently freaked out and sold up after a few of my investments rapidly depleated in value... Lesson learnt. Unfortunetley it was before I discovered this site which is a huge resource! Thanks everyone for their input. Missed on this one but have learnt a bucket load from peoples opinions on the way...

    i can relate. i sold 50% of my AIR stock when it hit 2.45 bc the rest of my portfolio had taken some big hits and I was trying to get a bird in the hand, instead of just admiring the ones in the bush (ok that made more sense in my head) but you know i wanted to get some actual profit in the bank, not just on paper. we all know its easy enough to rue selling or not selling but if we had that sort of insight we'd all be millionaires.
