GST,

Here is a testable hypothesis. Friday's rise was just day trading. The news that dropped PC makers should not affect web commerce. I agree.

So what's day trading pattern?

Pre-open positive non-event like friendly analyst re-it.
large pre-open buying at-market causes gap up
after initial surge, price drops
price rises again above gap level (as the more patient day traders start buying)
fluctuates all day at various 1 or 2 point trading ranges
mild sell-off at the end
which is bought by market makers
who sell into gap up next morning

then repeat.

If this happens on Monday, then I will agree it is nearing the top for this run.
