Interesting. Big move up today on little news. Could it be that the "whisper number" has hit the street? If so, look for continued inching up until Feb 9 (earnings anncmt). Then, if earnings are very good, a big run up after announcment. If earnings are merely OK, a small dip as those "in the know" take profits early AM. I think tomorrow will be a big clue as to what is going on. The chart shows an improvement in price support, could be a trend reversal (hooray!) But on the other hand, today we hit the top end of the recent range, and sure enough there was a dip just before close as the range riders closed out. I predict heavy volume tomorrow as these two camps fight it out. Just my humble opinion. Any comments?
