I think there might have been some short covering in the last few minutes. Normally the spread is 1/8 to 1/4, depending on how quiet things are.

I'll warn you Jeff - while it may have worked in the past, trying to predict this thing with T/A lately has proved to be the downfall of more than one poor soul. At last report the short interest was over 1M or nearly 20% so as some have pointed out that may create some minor support in itself. You mentioned that Barron's article, I know of several who have found some of their stories to be somewhat biased on occasion. Were there any stocks mentioned in a manner hinting they may do something or the other in the future? I would like to find the "Anatomy of a Short Squeeze" article too but I haven't seen it online lately. These are interesting reading with some "shorting discussions" if you missed them: forbes.com businessweek.com microcapstocks.com
