Gary, the issue next week IMO could be index fund buying. If enough money gets pumped into S&P 100 and 500 index funds, then there will have to be some buying in SLB, HAL and a couple of others. I wonder how much of yesterday's rise in the OSX was accounted for by SLB and HAL being bought by index funds. And, I wonder if index buying of those issues can pull up the rest of the OS stocks. I suppose there is no way to gauge this.
