Anyone taking something off the table?

I was down three hundred thousand at one point but now am up $370000.  I owe $140000 to my Father but haven't paid him back yet, so I am up over $200000.   I am still unhappy because I lost $175000 gambling and on reckless pursuits beyond this.  So I could have been up $400000.  Am I nuts for staying in and watching what happens?  Am I too focused on the money and on what the stock used to trade at?  Is it greedy waiting for $6 or foolish to wait for $7?  My plan is to wait until the summer and square up with my Father ant hopefully $6 plus, the greed in me will wait until $7.  But that strategy is risky and I could sell half my lot now and square up with my Dad.  I also owe $100000 to credit cards so by paying up my debts I will shuttle down my shares substantially.

After all these years of turmoil and anxiety about being down so much on this stock I am
not as excited as I should be because I know this could all disappear and crash.  50 cent swings are common place and it's nice to finally be in the right side of a trade.  I made many mistakes investing and have righted the ship.  If I sell now or anyone for that matter will you be massively disappointed if the stock goes to $7 or $9?  Is this an investment at this point, I think it is but if it seems too good to be true it probably is.  If oil drops here to $60 it would be extremely frustrating.  What would you do?

Upon reflection I think I want out at $6.36.  Hopefully by June and then I can let the rest ride.  $3.30 is my break even now but that also means zero in my bank account because I bet the farm.

Should I cycle out of this sector into marijuana or wait until oil goes above $100 a barrel?  I hope this lasts but it almost never does with cyclical plays like this.

At a $6.36 exit price I can pay my Father back and keep 50000 shares and just let it ride and if the company went bankrupt I would walk away with nothing but not loss anything.

I also will have tax implications, I kind of guessed my average cost but at least half is in a tax free.

Jealous much?  I have no reason to lie about my situation.  I have made a lot here but am having sleepless nights wondering what the next move is.

You have an L on your forehead!   Sell, pay of your dad and go invest in weed stocks.  Everyone on this bullboard would be happy.

I thought you said you were leaving this board?   Personally I don't believe most of the posters that gloat about millions or having houndreds of thousands of shares.  OMO
