Charles, The intraday looks typical except for one huge block that traded around 3:30p. Without any news, I'd ignore it; I've seen both good, bad and no news result from trading like this. I checked edgar.com, no recent filings by USSB. It would be interesting to know the short interest and whether this was an attempt to take out stops, but the block was around 11M shares and I cannot believe that many shares were stopped at 8.5-9.0. If this was such an attempt to take out stops, it could be a prelude to very good news, but I would not want to even take a guess that it's what actually took place. I came up empty! Dave
