With the S&P 500 finishing 2017 up nearly 20 percent, plenty of stocks are starting out 2018 at or near all-time highs. Those big 2017 moves mean investors are sitting on some huge gains, but it also means they are facing some tough decisions about whether these stocks will maintain their bullish momentum or cool off in 2018. The old adage says to buy low and sell higher, but sometimes patience allows traders to sell even higher.
