I agree that for the next 6 or 7 weeks there is little incentive to be a seller, and that means a rising price.

But, from mid-February on, there will be profit taking ahead of the big announcement, especially by risk-averse fund managers who will want to lock in their upside. These are the people who will want to be out of the stock when the announcement is made- many of whom will buy right back in if the results turn out positive.

My point is that the last three or four weeks before the announcement is made will see a lot of volatility in price and volume. It will not be for the timid.

Me, I plan to ride this horse all the way to the finish line, whatever the announcement might be, as has been my intention since 2003.
