We may have a better shot at a real move when an acquisition or some other major announcement such as a big new client is released. If you look at the move that brought it well over $1 a year ago that came on news of a $40M gross annual payroll deal with a new client. That news release from 7/20/2010 is posted below. Not sure that earnings release alone is going to do it...it certainly should but doesn't look like it-hope I'm proven wrong next week!
