BKM8572, I would be surprised if there are any shorts covering at this moment, simply because there aren't likely to be any surprises that would drive the s/p up with the financials being released.----We may still be seeing some more accummulation going on by, ( I can't recall the name of the big fund that was accummulating), which may be one of the reasons that the sell side of the equation has been loaded up continually, which in my estimation is being entered in order to frighten the smaller traders into selling at the $.74 level today.----The games people play.---CHEERS!!!
