'My final sentence was meant to be ironic, because in your similar NOT posts, you stressed exactly this fact, that people should take profits before it´s too late, didn´t you ?"

In fact, if it was my intention to have people take profits I would have said so as I often have. My simple point was for people to be realistic and open about what could happen with the SP. I do expect it to go up but not necessarily as high as some of the forecasts here. Remember the days of bitter commentary after the letdowns from unrealistic expectations regarding FWR and SPQ? This is what I seek to avoid. Given that the current theory is that PRB will be the object of a take over, history indicates that it would be wise to carefully monitor and allow one's profits to run. One could try and play the dips but the runs on this scenario could be very difficult to play for most.
