Ramsey,

Re: I am not sure if it is short squeeze
or just mutual funds with lots of cash desperating looking for any big cap to put money
in play.


Just a guess, but I believe most fund manager's have Nov '96 ingrained into their memory(when the stock gapped up 8 points following + comments) and do not want to be left out should any + comments be made on the 11th. IMO, we'll see this type of action around each earnings release and a pullback each time no + news is forthcoming.

It also does not hurt that relative to the rest of the market, this sector is especially attractive on a PEG basis.
