I’m not entirely sure why it’s happened, but you might want to take a look at a chart of micro cap stock Spicy Pickle (SPKL) - the thing is up 21% today on very strong volume… the best volume in weeks. I wonder who’s buying so much; it can’t be entirely chalked up to bored Thanksgiving-ers who are steering clear of the malls.

The real short-term test still seems to be the 27 cent mark. We’ve only hit a high of 25 cents today, but SPKL hit a ceiling at 27 cents during most of November. Maybe getting to 28 cents will break this small stock out of its slump.
