OXHP.. was 11.80 on WL 11/1.. called out at 12 5/8 trading now at 17 5/16. TOM, HOTJ, SNDK, SONE all from WL 11/1 all took longer to move. TOM was waiting for a good report, showed no anticipation, SONE finished up yesterday but not by much, HOTJ was good on 11/1 but not on 11/2 and SNDK.. SNDK is never predictable, just take it as it comes. I don't really like the retail sector, they never last longer than one day. TOM will probably be back down tomorrow.
