Last quarter, the price ran up into the earnings announcement (on
1/20) and then a slight pullback and on 1/25 they announced a 2:1
stock split. It is believed that this time they will again announce a
split with earnings (maybe even 3:1 this time). So, it is up to you
how you play it, but you might be able to sell after the announcement
and buy back cheaper a few days later according to these numbers.....
