What to do with my shares ----
21,700 shares, (16,600 in joint account and 5,100 in IRA) with average cost of $6.21.

Haven't sold or added in a long time. Love the dividend (although it should be increase in my opinion). Should have bailed when it hit $100+ but was too greedy and didn't want to pay taxes on gains. Don't understand or do options, so my issue is what to do to protect my gains in the event of the market tanking, especially if there is a Debt Ceiling Default in June.

Wish there was a way I could sell now at a gain and buy back at a lower price in 30 days if market tanks. Wish there was a 'reverse wash sale' to establish a higher cost basis while taking a profit and not paying taxes on the gains.
