RE:why is this breaking out today?
snake, It would make as much sense to ask why up only 3%. You have a high probablity of $2.20 before the end of June when the deal is supposed to close. And in the (presumably) worst case scenario where the deal falls apart you have a new SP that factors in the rally in oil. SP not likely to drop to where it was. SP might even go up if the deal fell through. But in all probablity you get $2.20 before the end of June without even paying a sell commission. People should be piling in. Today they are.
