I like Novartis (NVS) and have owned the stock for over two years.  During 2008, I decided to tactically move NVS from my taxable trading account to my Roth IRA.  Today’s sale, at $49.35, concluded this shift.  Though, I still have a relatively sizable stake in NVS.  From my personal notes, here a classic case of buy low and sell high with my NVS trades:

bought 7/18/07 (taxable account)
$53.10

bought 2/5/08 (taxable account)
$48.75

6/17/08 bought $49.90 (Roth IRA)

sold 8/4/08 (taxable account)
$60.65

11/20/08 bought $46.20 (Roth IRA)

1/29/09 bought $41.30 (Roth IRA)

sold 9/28/09 (taxable account)
$49.35

I still own the bold purchases, all of which are in my Roth IRA (tax free account).

Here is an alternate view:
