NoviceChicago,
Looks good to me. Both volume and price improving these last few sessions. Also some larger buys than we have had for awhile.
Possibly some larger investors getting interested after watching the churning for months. Also, Aventine has to do something Aug 8 - either file their CH 11 reorg plan, or ask for an extension of time to file from the BK court. Maybe some investors believe they will have some decent news on the direction they will be taking going forward. Not many trading days left between now and Aug 8.
