Predictions for the rest of this week ? bear market rally?

I'm holding a 20% gain in FAS, and I'm stuck at whether to lock that gain in... I have a feeling we might rally 2 out of the next 3 days, but its hard not to take a 1 day 20% gain with all the losses I have .... just wondering what some of yall think ?
my thesis for buying was simply contrarian and I expected a pop on the m2m meeting this week, but that may be priced in already now

we could rally for 2 weeks, IMO.

even a stopped clock is right twice a day
I am sitting on a trunk filled full of powder at the moment. I exited all my short positions other than one I can't exit due to some regulatory things. And my short treasuries.
Although I did sell them at the high yesterday. Turned a nice little profit.

I think people were speculating on a suspension and positioned themselves accordingly (I honestly thought they would go that route as well), but the SEC appears to be holding their ground.

I think in this market you lock in gains the second you have them.

I said that in late '08. It didn't go as far as I expected, but it did go about as long as I expected.

Use a stop, fundamentally things have not changed.There are rallies in a bear market no body knows for sure when is the bottom.

It's 1:27 Fl time and the Dow is down 17.35. Looks like this horse is about wore out.

Well, you locked in 20% gains. That's a lot better than most can say in this market. And you broke rule no. 1 of investing in the stock market:
After you sell, never look back
If you think the 4s are a fair price for the stock, wait until the next day we drop 200-300 points and buy back in on the dip.

I suggest you buy stocks that you think believe in and hold on to them for years. Now is not the time to day trade.
