I have not been able to watch the trading like most of you here--however, this looks different to me than the last few months. We were "range bound" for so long--we seem to be going up now. There have been increases made over the last few days. It looks like the selling pressure is not as great as it has been in the past--which could mean daytraders, swingtraders, etc.. It has been holding some of it's gains which is what we need. IMHO, we need to do this slowly so that it continues to hold those gains. Then, when the settlement news hits, we can take off and never look back. GL, ads
