Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I know that I personally can't keep my money tied up at this time. I graduated college back in May, and am still trying to find a job in my field. What little money I still have, is in my trading account. I'm currently waiting on my tax return and have been working a little to make money for loan payments, but time is running out. So, for me, selling some to get my initial investment out rather than holding everything for the LONGTERM play, is a matter of necessity, as I need money available to pay bills and such.

I am hoping for a nice run shortly to minimize the number of shares I must sell to get my initial investment back out, and once I have that money out, I believe in the longterm potential here, and could hold those freebies until the share price is much higher.

And while I don't believe this to be the case here, I would rather sell half early to get out my initial investment than to hold all to the end, have the merger never go through, and end up with shares worth half what I bought them for. Different strokes for different folks after all; everybody has their own level of "risk" that they're comfortable with.
