with some notable changes for investors to stew over. The CFO has announced his retirement, a dividend hike is implemented and a share repurchase programme of up to 10% of the company's shares.

The options market however indicates a sizeable positive move in the stock. The stock is trading at a ridiculous 6.8 P/E but wait for the selling to abate and indicators to turn positive.
