No; I'm not saying 80,000 is impressive. I'm saying that selling too early can work, and that making 5% on a bunch of stocks adds up to a lot after a while, rather than trying to make 1000% on one stock. Anyone who has been trading for a while knows the sick feeling of being a bag-holder, and no one ultimately knows what the share price will do. If we knew for sure it would go up, we'd all buy more shares and no one would short it. Locking in 400-500% profits is awesome! Next week it may be gone, or it may be doubled.
