Howdy Chasers- The market is a little too overbought right now for my liking. Likewise, I've been following GS very closely.  Ever since the gigantic hammer formation on November 21st, 2008, Goldman has been extremely bullish, bottoming out at $47.15 per share in November and closing today at $98.99 per share. ...
