Okay -- back from the pool now....


Since you hold the stock in an IRA -- there's no provision for taking a tax loss... so unless you just don't like the stock - I'd hold it. I'd only sell if you had a TAXABLE account and wanted to do a year end "take some profits and offset some of that with a loss". But you can't do that in an IRA.

Remember that the day after you sell -- the stock will run 60 points.
