The good news just keeps on rolling in. Nov. 23 can be a very good day for us all. If $25 hit the after hours market - Monday should see a big gap open. Perhaps on the COMDEX news + earnings. My father chatted with a broker at Merryll today about Novell. He explained that they didn't cover Novell (analyst-wise) but that if Novell were to break the resistance at $25-27 then it could see a good break out. Anything less than that and we'd see a pull back. Opinion or does he know something about the MMs??
