Just my opinion on the Haywood cross. I have a feeling they are in for the momentum trading, and we saw this a lot the last time around... damn that was a long time ago when you start thinking about it!
They essentially buy/sell to themselves for just the commission price the 500k but it adds to the volume. Now you're going to see a lot of the computer based trading move in since we're over a million shares traded already and it will also signal lots of other interested funds who had alerts up.
Take your gravol, I think we start trending upwards steadily (even without a NR) but don't let the rocking of the boat and 10 cent swings worry you.
