One can only assume that the big guys aren't interested in paying much over $5 until more results come out. Retail business isn't on it's own going to drive prices up as high as we might like. When the bigger players smell higher prices they'll be back and driving up the price.
Fridays can be even crazier than Mondays in the Market. Some will want a last chance to buy in hope of solid news Monday and shorts/day traders likely want out. As long as NOT can close over $5 I'll not be unhappy. $6 would be nicer but doesn't seem likely.
That
