Timber / Napth - Its all about your own personal risk appetite.
Yes there is likely to be further gains after i take my next slice (around 25p if you're asking) but when you've made big gains its wise to rebalance your portfolio.
Personally I'm not happy with a single share being more than 30% of my portfolio, and i redistribute if that happens (as it did when i took my 15.5p slice a few weeks back.
Now is a good time to buy longer term divi payers at bargain prices. Adding a few of those ready for when divis pick up next year is a no brainer. I've had some great value buys that i can also hold long term, i don't have an 'all my eggs in one basket' nervousness, and i'm trading according to my plan. No emotional decisions there, which have cost me in the past
