Even if a stock has an amazing story, no one ever lost a profit by taking a profit. And besides, you can keep your big winners on the table.

No, that's actually buying when there's less risk and selling when there's more risk. What are the good stocks you should sell into the rally? I would mostly want to trim back my positions in my really big winners and in my momentum these don't have to be winners for you necessarily, but they've become more and more expensive as they go high, even though they are high growth, they are high-priced earnings stocks that are on a roll lately, at or least a year or two, which is more typical.

I also like THESTREET.COM's, but I use the s&p in part because i've been keeping track of it for years and years, when that thing gets to plus five, which means we see a dramatic increase in the at of buying over and over and over again, I say, I don't care.
