Alea,
Thanks for giving credit where credit is due! With your pull would you please urge SKS to grant me a nice pile of options, given as how I've done so much to raise the shares of his company's stock (LOL!)?
On the other hand, I would have to think that something occurred on or about Dec. 1 that caused that beautiful breakout. I don't think it was just general awareness, or even that I was concentrating all my kharma just that day! Maybe we'll find out, or maybe not. I seem to recall a similar event one April many years ago, and I don't believe we ever found out the underlying reason for it.
Happy Holidays!
