Did everyone see the sudden surge in trading? Awesome. Some 60,000 shares traded in little more than a minute. What's going on?

OT BruceL..Greenspan stopped speaking? A group of managers were given the assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. They attack the challenge with ladders and tape measures. Soon they're falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures - the wholething is just a mess. An engineer comes along and sees what they're trying to do, walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to end, gives the measurement to one of the managers and walks away. After the engineer has gone, one manager turns to another and laughs. "Isn't that just like an engineer, we're looking for the height and he gives us the length."
