Heres my thoughts on bankroll and moving up:

1. I think bankroll management/mismanagement is the second most important factor to success of a poker player, and its barely behind actual poker skill.

2. If you have the BR to move up, and have enough self control to move back down if you lose below a set level, then I think you can move up if your ROI shows that you'll survive at that next level. For example if you had an ROI of 20% at the $50 level, even if your ROI was 12% at the $100 level, it would be worth the move.

3. Method of moving up. I like the gradual method. Start mixing in one game (If you play multi-boards at a time), then two, then all of them. Slowly accustome yourself to the changes.

4. If you find yourself playing meekly, go back down, or do your best to adjust being knowledgeable that meek play will not win.

I would say the most important thing by far is BR management. Because in SNG's, a move up to quickly without the BR for it can lead to a quick demise, and starting all over again.
