Heck if you are successful at finding stocks that go up 25% for a 15% risk then go for it ;-)<br/>If you haven't sold though, your gain would have been much smaller..<br/>But as Buffet would say, you should look at stocks as a business, not for price movements. You wouldn't buy Coca Cola simply because it increased by 10%. you would buy it because you know that it is a solid company with good future ahead.
