  Mary what your playing with your 3 week offset  MACD(2.5.1) approaching 0 is short interest covering such as below. As you can see 9% of the shorts covered today which is what led to the 8.5% gains on stec. You can use several sources for the short interest data. Stocks like these are part of my monthly ritual. AMED was the same way, heavily shorted.
 
 You might also want to look at the short int ratio of PALM. a lot to cover in just a few days.

  Did you post your major loss on bac calls yet or was that just a little pocket change?
