Nope, don't have a short term view for a long term company, rather
a short term view for a short term event. What happened is
insignificant as far the the company or share price for the
future. Sucker rallies usually happen when there are quite a
few people following a stock who believe that something good is
going tohappen and don't want to miss out on the move. Therefore,
when a little action starts, they jump in whereas with other
stocks the little action would stay little action. I've watched
this with a number of stocks over the years. Think of it like
hunting teal in the marsh. Everybody's geared up for the teal
to come in low, fast and gone so they're ready to shoot the
second they see something moving. As opposed to a bunch of
people sitting aroundon the beach,not hyped up watchingbirds
fly by. If no one thought this stock was going to move, there'd
be no quick rallies and fall backs like that. Can't blamethe
buyers and the sellers. With the market the way it's been, people
have been burned so often they need to get in and then out fast
if a rally isn't confirmed. It's a tough market to day trade
compared to a year ago. Got to be a good shot to take down teal.
Even a crappy shot can knock off a lumbering mallard.
