>>> your personal analysis as to why PTEN this a.m. is behaving so CONTRARY to the rest of the driller mkt. It absolutely defies any logical reasoning that I can apply to it. <<<

You asked Brother Bum, I hope you don't mind my analysis.

It's a classic technical move. The chart will clearly show that the last 5 times PTEN got above $20, it sold off to the $18 range. It's in a trading channel which indicates it's a weak performer.

What you saw was profit taking off a channeling.com kind of stock.

Stocks either trend up, down or sideways. Each trend is played a different way. Stocks that trade sideways are stocks that are sold into resistance.
