ILMN crushes eearnings - up 18% in after hours

ILMN closed up 2% and up another 18% in after hours.

They released earnings that were 2x the expected
1. Expectations of $0.16 were beaten: they came in at $0.32 and raised next quarter from $0.17 to $0.41
2. Grew from a loss last year to a major profit
3. Major big pharmas are using their products (Glaxo)
4. Sequential growth as well as annual growth

The key here is the widening sales base as well as the acceptance by big drug companies.

We have a nice return on this one: 33% in ~2 months
