A 25% rise over a period of about two months last year [does not an] end-of-cycle, blow-off top [make].

That leg up is starting right now, although we probably will not see a substantial acceleration in the leg up like we saw in the first part of 2011 but, obviously, as soon as $50 is crossed an acceleration can be expected.
