POZN or POISON?? BUY OR SELL???

I am a long term trader and I bought POZN yesterday at $14.60. I was
thinking the stock would hit the 18-19 target as predicted.
Unfortunately, it has all but done that. As I mentioned, I am in this
for the long run...should I sell the shares of POZN that I bought
yesterday and take the loss or should I wait it out until the company
gets something passed by the FDA again.
What is your outlook on POZN???

It was bad timing to buy that high (highest of the day) and even worse to buy just after the stock moved 20% overnight.
You had to expect that after an overnight 20% surge, there would be some profit taking. Especialy with a P/E over 80.

In this case it's better to wait for wome gap, or to pass to another stock since you missed the oportunity.

Now, I won't advise you to sell because I imagine there had been some good news and these good news will bring a profit for the company.
You bought a little bit high, but if you believe in this company for some good reasons and if you plan long term, then you shouldn't worry about losing 10 or 20% the days after your purchase.
It's something that happens often. Very often when you buy stocks.

One golden rule is: Did something changed that the resons why you bought are not anymore valid?
If nothing has changed, keep them and see in one year.
