As a result of the fork I now have independent currency on both chains?

If I think that Bitcoin Cash will ultimately not succeed, I should sell into this P&D, right?

If you actually have the private keys to your bitcoin (ie. you have your bitcoin in bitcoin wallet software on your computer such as in the official client or the electrum client), and you had them at the time of the fork (Aug 1), then yes. If you had your bitcoins held by a 3rd party like an exchange, then it's up to them to decide whether they want to support a fork like bitcoin cash at all and credit it to your account.

correct. All indicators (miners not switching, 60% Korean volume, 0 dev support, plethora of FUD articles about core) are showing that it's a P&D and now is a great time to sell all your BCH back to BTC.
