Hi Clint,

heard it on CNBC that the order that caused all the hoopla towards the close was about 50 to 100 mil in value. Essentially they pulled a fast one on the shorts.

Gee, I dunno Clint.

I just got back from holiday and have not looked at anything yet.

There are a lot of things Floor Brokers do to trigger (what they think is) short covering and any given day is unique and yet the same....your question is hard to answer.

Anyway, I was not here that day and cannot even pro-offer a guess at this point.
