This market is beyond me. I don't get it, i mean, if BoA is issuing a whooping 1.25 billion shares at the market price, shouldnt the basic supply-demand logic make the price dip? Infact, thats what they were saying even on CNBC - but now i see that BoA in AH, where am i going wrong?

Because of that fear shorts cover and chasers chase as they don't want to miss the rally. Retail Chasers and funds will lose big but it will take time :)

If not 15, 14 is possible by weekend. Watch tomorrow's morning action to judge!
