It's funny how today's investors interpret raised targets projected for the next 12-18 months as a 2-3 day affair.
I had been watching the stock price gradually climb and if it weren't for poor market conditions, the stock would have hit its destined target of $80 and probably some.

Same story with CMRC of a couple of days ago. An analyst projects a $120 target. The stock takes off from $25 and reaches $135 within 72 hours. I short sell then, people call me crazy preaching margin calls, then stock dives to under $100 and some still believe they are buying the stock at a discount to yesterday's price. Go figure!

Least to say: no margin calls on my end.
