I guess its like DISNEY holding up the DOW yesterday. HWP wont be up so much on Monday. No, I don't think it will be either. Prudential isn't exactly known for its tech prowess, and they are the ones who upgraded HWP. For some reason their analysts make wacky comments. Like this time, the Pru guy said he expects HWP to "rally very strongly". Nothing like sticking the ol' cattle prod into the stock. Nothing against HWP, but it's not exactly been a strong stock for the past year or so. But my guess is that todays $ into HWP are largely "hot money" out for the 1-3 day trade. I'm holding my MSH puts. I dumped my SPX put though, for a meager 19% profit. I feel fortunate though, considering the ill-timed buy-point.
