Aug 3, 2011 at 7:40 comment added Chuck van der Linden Selling might also have tax implications, which reduce if held till gains become long term instead of short term, which might be another reason to hold. (especially if the price was lower relatively recently and they advised to establish new positions at that time.) People often fail to take taxes into account, and that can have an effect where the net gain is better in the long run to stick with something you own that only goes up x, rather than move to something that goes up x plus a little more but you are earning on a reduced balance (after taxes and comissions).
