I should wait to hear what Barb says, but to me it looks
like a pump was setup starting near the close Monday, with
a burst of volume. But maybe not -- there have been other
days with volume as high as Monday.
Today was truly exceptional, though. No doubt it was a pump
today. Not much sign of weakness yet, so it might not finish
tomorrow.
