When will it bust

Hey a couple of weeks ago when this hurricane season started i bought into ipii as i guessed it has doubled in two days. Im just not sure when to jump off the boat. Everything i see point to the end off the day when the hurricane hits land is when historically everyone else jumps. if anyone else has any suggestions it would be great to hear from you. The other one i was looking at is pdge i think they may take a jump in the next couple of days. Thanks everyone

Look at the numbers. The two year chart shows IPII heading straight south with a spike in JUNE and JULY of 2007. Well before the last hurricane season.

From their own press release dated Aug 14 2008...
"Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $20,975,000, compared to $30,107,000 for the same period in 2007. The Company realized a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $2,786,000, or $1.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $229,000, or $.09 per diluted share, for the same period of 2007."

Reason "The continuing slowdown in construction activity since the third quarter of 2006 in the Southeastern United States, the Company's primary trade area,"

Take the profit (at least half) and run.

it is pretty hard to use fundamentals as a short term timing exit indicator
