With all due respect, it's still to early to count the chicken…Watch what the insiders are going to do over the next couple of months will be interesting.
Yeah, it sort of sucks when a forced sale from covered call option contracts miss the market price by 4-5 bucks/share, but for folks that are long term shareholders and/or with spouses still receiving options/espp shares, NOT doing timed sales is a great way to roasting a nest.
You hear it all the time on the news: employees/former employees of company XYZ losing several thousand or millions holding on to stock options + espp shares + shares purchased on the "euphoria" of a company doing well when the company runs into some unexpected bad news. Can you say Enron, WorldCon, and more recently CFC and BSC?
Company and wall street's analysts and opinions love to change. Bring on another nokia or broadcom IP lawsuit, I'm sure suddenly the analysts will start singing a different tune. Q has a big target on it. Every other company is pretty much doing as much as they can to sabotage their business model (royalty/IP).
