A move to .7/8ths plus seems more TA consistent, but I sense the move will be only for a few days before the relative strength gets to near the 80 area. Also, I have never been to confident on pattern recognition with BORL. It's seems the character of the investors with BORL, react more to extremes than any other TA consideration. The most difficult call for me is the tops...I always get too slanted to the upside...so I am shying away from the typical resistance levels. Also, 33% and 50% moves from previous lows ( 8 ), are very hard to break through...thus, even 12 1/2 may be tough to reach.

I do know that some of you disagree with me on the following, but I again think the market maker pushed the stock down at the close. He or she faced a number of nice, large uptick blocks earlier, and may have had a depleted inventory. Using a few thousand shares on a holiday when the playing field is normally thin to push down the stock makes it easier for the specialist to accumulate inventory at cheaper prices for later resale at much higher prices. Sam, Why do you think this? Surely all the shorts who this thread keeps talking about squeezing would be glad to cover at the lower price, not sell more to a MM? Neil.
