Picking an entry here for a trade is a complete crap shoot with expiry tomorrow. They will no doubt, as they have every time time past practically, peg a number. And there is virtually no way, without purely guessing to figure out where it goes. If I were betting, I would bet on 350 here because it will be difficult to hold these gains with many lower priced recent entries. If they run it to the mid 360s by end of trade today, then 360 most likely becomes your new mark. If you are looking to trade into it, the best bet is to either average in or just wait until next week. tj

now ss GOOG off last pop to $361 area NT top area after the Fed speak , with $357's/$358 have seemed to hold some support right in here, but profitaking seemed apparent . ... its just too difficult to say if this is the start of a sustained relief rally on GOOG just yet . A mention from Expedia's CC earlier today turns out to be part of the driver: "they (Google) do an excellent job with us" and "the amount of business that we do with them grows year-over-year fairly significantly." Expedia went on to say that Google is a "great partner of ours" and that they (Expedia) "are certainly a very big client." ... there are concerns of a seasonally weak periods up ahead mentioned in HPQ's guidance especially in Europe ...oil/energy prices will certainly be one of the chief drivers in the market from here on out . Would think it would be difficult to initiate long positions here by bigger money...HPQ already weakening a bit . * HPQ's success might spell another swoon for DELL tonight ...CSCO sure having some problems with $20 , might be an easy swing short for a few ...
