Interesting readsWell that was an interesting afternoon reading the comments and the penis size contest. Was there a winner there? Anyway the smart strategy is sell your position on the 27th leaving the profit on table to ride if results are really good. Now unless you happen to sleep or golf with the CEO ya dont really know if you should leave it all on the table but that is the difference between a diciplined trader/Investor vs the gambler. If stock should happen to tank for whatever reason at lease you have cash to buy in again in the low 15's cause the dividend is safe IMHO.
I will add one caveat to this however and please I would love to read your opinions on this thought...I believe they are releasing better than expected good news when they will publish on a Thursday Morning BEFORE the market opens. Morning news before market opens typically is good news unless your Heinz! lol
