In this market I'm starting to lean more to the side of getting out while the getting is good and be ready to live to trade another day. Keeping more cash ready for the next big dip/dive will reward us more than squeezing a few extra dollars out of dubious positions. I think that’s smart trading.

Then I realized that I probably should save my buying power in case the market takes a bigger dive. I had a similar waffling of confidence in SIRF (<a href="http://options-strategery.blogspot.com/2008/02/bought-back-put-options-in-sirf.html" rel="nofollow">Bought back put options in SiRF Technologies (SIRF), swayed by emotions or smart trading?</a>) and closed the remainder of my positions.
