Nah, the problem is I bought options today. As a result, my bad karma is literally infecting the stock. I know several people who suffer this bad karma whenever they buy. I must be their king, though. Good thing I'm still holding the stock, too.

Andrew, I have noticed a lot of new market makers actively buying today compared to yesterday, supporting the stock price at $40.00. In the past few days the support was provided by Short covering, while other potential buyers waited in the 30's, hoping for better prices. Today these buyers have stepped up into the 40 range, while the stock is being held down mostly by profit-taking. The shorts are more on the sidelines, only stepping in when necessary to help hold down the price. I would expect buying to pick up on Monday.
