MO Watch

Altria Group Inc. (MO) has reversed the bear signals that I wrote about on Tuesday after earnings that exceeded the consensus estimate by 2¢. The price is presently within Tuesday's range.

On Tuesday I wrote, "If earnings are disappointing, I'll jackrabbit Wednesday morning, taking the loss." They weren't. I didn't. It's all good.
