It has been very hard to win "just hold" tactic to this day, but the thing is risk management. It's very hard to predict what is going to happen and it may be wise to sell if the trend might turn, you just have to buy back soon if the trend didn't turned. You may end up losing little coins, but someday the trend will turn and then you win a lot of coins/fiat if you always remembered to pay the "insurance".

Panic and sell when it crashes to 150? 
seriously though....I lost 5 btc day trading and decided never to do it again. Long is the way forward.

Think the biggest hit I took was a drop of $14- which, natch, totally reversed as soon as I sold out. I've lost 8.5 btc on what I would have today otherwise, but I trade better on a rising market (who doesn't) I'm just not sticking at the right points - can't believe I sold at 76.98 in July. AAAARGGGH!

"play money". I always lol when i hear people say that while it's real money.
It just means I use a relatively small portion of the total money invested to gamble and play the market with. Trading short term fluctuations is just a funny little game, right?

the spread between gox en stamp is betting smaller? Any ideas why?
Used to be 15$ spread when in 100-150 range, like >10%, now its 10$ around the 200 range, so about ~5%...

I sold 50% of my play money on Bitstamp just to have some fiat ready in case of a correction. There will be a correction, and it will be big so you just have to have some fiat on the side. But no way I'm selling all or the majority of my coins, that's not a risk I'm willing to take when bitcoin can do all kinds of crazy things you weren't expecting.

I just hate this rise. Sold too many coins 
No trust anymore that it will go down again to $100. Maybe $130-$150 at best.
We are close to touching the old time high again. This is not 2011.
I'm eating my cake and it tastes like chit.

LOL - that's my dilemma - I definitely should have held earlier, but in the immediate short term I can see the likelihood of a big correction which would test my resolve, even if it bounced back as it did after SR. I don't know if I've got the balls to see $50-60 or more taken off the price and Hold.

I could never get used to that shitty bitcoinity ticker. I need something like http://trading.i286.org/ where i have a clear oversight of the orderbook.
that's even worse :p
