Would of... that mind set goes with could of & should of. In hind sight we always can find a better path or way. The point is you have to do what you can live with. I sold enough shares to have nothing invested... no risk at all in a stock I bought that took off overnight. I knew little about this company but the chart looked ready to make a move so I took a chance and it did. I am not a greedy person and I know 9 out of 10 times its a short term run followed by a pullback that leaves bagholders who "believed" it was or is the real deal. I now make trades and accumulate free shares whenever possible. I can tell you that 9 out of 10 times I get a chance to buy back the shares I sold at a lower price then I sold them. When they go higher after I sell, I am happy because my free shares are making me money and I "hope" its the real deal. When they go lower after I sell, I am happy because I then have the option to buy back shares at a lower price and make money again. In this case with NVIV of course I would of held on to all my shares if I knew it would hit $3+, but I am happy with my position and my decision to play it as I have. The point is do what you want to do, dont ask for advice from others then blam them for your decision. You did the right thing by selling those shares and I hope you learned a valuable lesson today that you can apply to your future trades. In your post you say I lost when in reality I cannot lose. You also say its all just gambling if you "believe" and you are right. If you believe that because you believe in a company it will just continue to go up, you will eventually get hurt on some form of suprise. So I suggest that you lean towards taking the money when its there and always take your investment out on huge percentage gains... but you may just consider that weak... good LUCK.
