RE:One more dip before earnings.....i think they tried as hard as they could to drive the price down but with volume over 6 million 2 days in a row - if we dip below 65 then i think there will be a dip in price but if oil holds between 67 to 69 the stock will keep rising. There are more and more long buys. The day/short traders are not fooling as many people. The longer the price holds above 65 the more buyers that come in and there will continue to be a certain percentage of longs. watching these guys buy and sell back and forth is getting to be kind of funny.
take care
