I would rather take a shot buying puts on a spike rather than sell the common. Don's list of catalysts is pretty much my belief as well as some other extreme possibilities.

I would hate to sell my initial shares (after having held for almost 2 years), only to have something drive the pps up way higher while I'm standing on the sidelines waiting for a lower entry. Also, I'm sure many here are now in the long term capital gains rate with most of our positions. Selling resets the clock. Should the pps shoot up in the next 12 months and you wan't to sell, you will be paying some pretty substantial taxes.
