So why did I sell the majority of my position?
1. The Nasdaq is up 1000 points in less than a month. Time to correct.
2. The Stochastics that I use gave a sell signal on FFIV.
3. I don't believe the M.& A. speculation. If I was on FFIV's board I wouldn't want to sell. In 1-2 years this company could be worth $3 Billion and no one is going to offer quadruple current market cap for the stock.
4. There was a gap up from yesterday's close of 46 11/16. My guess is that window will be closed. I'm always amazed how gaps are so consistently filled.
5. Further run-up in the stock in advance of the FOMC meeting could be risky for buyers. If there is a Fed surprise and the Nasdaq gives back those 1000 points, F-5 will probably not be immune to selling.

But if anyone knows reasons for the stock's run-up that I don't, let me know. It wouldn't take a lot for me to change my mind and reestablish my old position.
