My take is that the answer to both of your muses is yes.  This is a terrible 
market for leaders.  And the loose action of this stock makes it suspect on 
its own.  But despite both, it seems to want to hang in there.  The best 
that could happen is for this chart to tighten up in price, dry up in 
volume, form a high handle in here, then break out for good.  (But Santa 
Clause has been gone for a month now!)
