You will need a strategy in place to protect the downside risk and enough discipline to start selling on the upside move. If you're fortunate enough to follow the stock continuously during the trading sessions you might be able to get out without too big a loss. My understanding about the brokerage houses is that they can see the stop losses, so you can't depend on them for protection. If you buy too early with a large share block they will sell into the bid until the stop loss is triggered. Liquidity can be a problem as well with < 100,000 shares some days. Just some points to consider but not advice, which is a dangerous thing to give for the reasons listed by Montrose. I believe the share price is being capped but have no evidence. The markets are so volatile there will be a temptation to liquidate my position on a decent price spike but then gold fever has no known cure.
