RE:Why do people sell?
I agree that it isn't worth selling what's left. May as well hang in for the finale if that's what it turns out to be. Having been in it since before the milennium and bought and sold along the way, I'm lucky enough to have made sufficient on it earlier on to still be playing with their money. However, I have ridden it down all the way from 3.40 which was not clever because I had my eye off the ball. Could have turned a six figure profit at the top. It's a relatively small play now and what will be will be. Not going to sell.
In response to the other posters, I do agree and believe that the conversion of "future" interest into equity, at the very least, smells a very funny colour. It would be interesting to hear some answers about that.
