In the absence of any other information I assume it was a stampede.

Looking at the option activity: About 1400 contracts for calls controlling about 140,000 shares were executed. Anybody needing to buy back or roll out contracts which were deep in the money yesterday got one heck of a good price today. I suspect that the short interest went up substantially today. This should create a very nice pop when those short decide to cover. As November 17th approaches, I'd expect them to get very, very nervous. JMHO, Ian.
