I'm glad you're using stops, Bill, because you might be a little behind the curve on this rally. Also, Friday is expiration for all November options, and we can expect pressures from that quarter.

The following site calculates the value for a stock at which the put and call holders will incur the maximum loss at expiry (the MaxPain theory).

Based on the samples I ran, MaxPain suggests there will be negative pressures on the market through Friday. Here's the MaxPain point for some of our g&ks.

qcom 50
sebl 17.5
ntap 7.5
csco 17.5
msft 60
intc 25

btw, I don't think there is a strong correlation between MaxPain predictions and the real world results.
