Pepi, there are infinite number of strategies, and infinite number of views on a stock's growth potential. All I can say, is that real money is made when growth gets compounded - in other words, for me, if MTA grows 20% on top of the 150% growth I already have, then my real growth is closer to 50% of my original purchase. This is the scenario I look for. Pullbacks are natural - so is consolidation. Now as long as the pullback doesn't outpace the market, you should be fine. If your stock is plummeting in market rallies - then you should perhaps be concerned.
