Perhaps. It wasn't without its benefits. But when you've turned $1000 into $4.5 million, you think about it differently. I was consumed by an irrational fear that the price was going to fall out at any moment, which was driving me towards selling, but at the same time I was thinking, "what if the price just keeps going up? What if I'm ultimately screwing myself over by selling now?" I think the deciding factor was my immediate need for cash. I had seen significant profit, beyond my wildest expectations, and figured I had a good run and should just get out now. Money has a funny way of influencing your thoughts.
