Re: Key reversals

Jerry,

I've been concerned about the same thing regarding the two stocks I've got
puts on (IBC and MLHR).

The picture is as you describe it.  MLHR was down yesterday with 318K shares
and then up today with 705K.  IBC down yesterday with 77K shares and then up
with 225K shares.

I had been bearish on these two because I thought they, among many, many
others, had chart patterns looking like tops (i.e., no lower high, lower
low, breakdown from the hhv on heavy volume).

And both of them now are in positions where they old support level would now
be considered a resistance level.

But this volume point is troubling...
