The second announcement concerning asset sales... could come now at any time. This is one of the reasons I would not remain short nor would I mess around with trading in and out just now. Th eonly thing I might do now for additional income is sell a few calls against my much larger position for additional income - being ready to roll out and up with a greater number to ensure income even on a rise in the SP without having to sell my stock.
While the CEO said he would not tie announcements to quarterly earnings concerning asset sales, they could easily make an announcement any day. Two things are quite certain: 1. We are getting closer every day to when they will announce an asset sale and 2) - when they do the stock will bump upwards ... and if the asset sale is large enough then the shorts all 13 million shares will scramble to close out. The wind is at our back and time is on the side of the Longs. Patience will be rewarded here.
