Now as much as I like this story we see a potential top forming and everything good is to be sold in this trecherous market; all gains are erased quickly. So I'm taking this down to a 0.1% holding position and selling the remaining portion around $74. Frankly I didn't hold much since I sold on that spike to low $70s last week. And we will buy back on a pullback... or if the stock continues upward through the $75 level we'll buy on "technical" strength. Right now good results are not keeping stocks up for long so until that pattern changes we'll obey the markets wishes and sell strength.

So we got our pullback as the stock is in the $68s this...
