Question about PKI

SporeMonger said: "PERKIN ELMER INC (PKI) There are a number of factors that make the stock a buy but I think that I might be missing something. Positives -------- - Earnings estimates look great - Analysts have a high confidence - High call volume - Chart shows a breakout in high volume - The shorts are jumping ship - Upgraded to a buy January 16th - Earnings are April 26th <--(Potential Positive anyway...) Negatives --------- - It's at the top of it's channel, cycling every 6 months - Ex-dividend date is April 18th It seems like it's going to keep up trending after the 18th since so many calls are written, it's upgraded and the shorts are bailing, but I don't really trust that because of the negatives. I would check the prices of the options contracts, but I am not sure what to look for since I don't know squat about options. At first I thought that I finally got in early on a stock before a huge move and now I'm second guessing myself. Am I missing something or does it look like a good momentum play?"
