Closing Thoughts

The theme recurred after a gap of 2 days, and this episode lasted 1 day as of Aug 19. The next question is whether it builds into a longer streak in the sessions ahead.

Watch whether the dividend expectations in the news get more coverage. Another signal is whether all three carriers keep moving in the same direction or start to split apart.
