Steve, so you're "anxious to hear" my take on today's action? Huh? You want to hear from the guy who was calling for massive resistance at $120 ? What can I say? I (unfortunately) kept to my conviction and sold out everything on the open at 119 ¬. Bummer! Technical picture now of course looks fantastic. Also, in answer to your question: (1) the news re the withdrawal of the appeal/injunction against the opening of bids on phase 2 of the advisor selection came out AFTER the local market close. Had only muted impact though on the ADRs which were already north of $122 I seem to recall. Also (2) the approval of the Senate Civil service Reform came out AFTER even the NY close. Tone is set for a decent opening tomorrow. Have to say though that I agree your observations.It's just not very often we have such a run up in this stock without some moderate pull-back. I actually think we NEED a pullback (no, not just to allow me to re-position!!), but because I believe that a pull-back to mid teens will build a better base off which to mount a more sustainable rally. I do not think I would be a buyer here other than for the quickest of in-out day trades. Might buy some out-of-the-money March puts tomorrow (coward's short). Separately, I researched the Cardoso resignation thing. Turns out the law was changed a while back (One of Cardoso's own reform bills) such that there is no longer any constitutional requirement for an incumbent to resign before standing for re-election. He stays in charge right up until they either re-elect him, or dump him. (oh, by the way, law says though that he cannot use gov't funds to finance his re-election bid !!!!!!) Can't imagine he's gonna get a lot of work done though. Still good news. Jeremy
