I did indeed sell all my banks shares (at a small loss) during one crazy day of trading.
I bought RBS at 300p and watched with dismay as they fell to 160p over the next couple of months. At this point I decided to jump back in with double my original investment and, lo and behold, they immediately plummeted to 80p (that very day such is my wonderful timing) amid talk the bank could possibly be nationalised.
That afternoon, one minute before the closing bell, some organisation with obvious insider knowledge purchased a massive tranche of RBS shares. The following morning, after a sleepless night, it opened at 200p and I sold.
Fool that I am, I'm now considering going back in. :)

you sound nearly as clever as me bought some dragon oil shares at 16p(£2,500) after watching them for a few years drift between 11p-27p up/down/up/down anyway they went to 28p then started to drift down again so sold at 24p when went down first thing one morning
low and behold that was the last downward step they took and have traded as high as £5.something FFS.

Dragon Oil's price was massively over-inflated by the expectation that Dubai World would buy up the remaining shares. Now they'll probably have to sell them. You might well have got out too early, but anyone who's still there could be in trouble.
