Yesterday in the AM Meeting I mentioned XOM basically as an aside. It had reported earnings and was at the 52 week high in the premarket, so I felt obligated to at least mention that it should be bought above that level. So it ended up consolidating tightly right below the 80 level and I’m sure a bunch of SMB … Read More
