I don't believe that several rumours are sending this stock into orbit Munch. We have taken great care not to ramp this stock lately.
You say: "Trick is it take your stop loss before everyone else, and that could mean a "at market" sell if things go sour".
It is very debatable if things will turn out sour Munch. I don't believe that the market will push up this stock without a very good reason; after all, it has been well conditioned over 2 weeks.
But yes, a spike can always occur if the news is big; that I don't know and I am not relying on it.
