the game planIf I was CEO ( which I am not ), I would start enrolling my game plan after the end of the quarter. -2017 guidance -Reiterate/raise 2016 guidance -Announce acquisition -Quarter 2 results ( on time) -Announce another acquisition Basically, I would try to not let the shorts breathe. Finally, I would finish the job with quarter 3 & 4 results, which historically are the best quarters of the year.
