Henry Huckabuck : Although I don't watch financial TV programs & have never watched Jim Cramer, this is good advice. I have some that are up over 50%, some up 80%. I am going to go to that account now and sell off a portion of each large gainer. The last time I did that, then bought other undervalued stocks, my account went up over 3%.
