I suppose wondering what to do with a profit, or at lest the recent gain is always a gamble will it go up more and selling misses out or down when the bid evaporates. But that's shares for you.
If I had a tax plan to sell unsheltered holdings and I usually do around this time I will look for an opportune moment, in fact I often set a 90 day limit order in January at a price around or above a 12 month historic high. If I'd done that todays price is probably in the region of a guess I would have made. This level last seen in December, September and April-June last year.
Flip a coin. I have both shares and both in sheltered accounts. So the announcement makes no odds to me.
