Comment on my 11/3 prediction:  The price hike to $3.29 didn’t arrive until Thursday 11/8, so I was WRONG.

Wednesday, November 14, 2007, 10:15 AM:  Since Halloween, wholesale prices have jumped 18 cents but the last few days, they have given most of that jump back.  That and my usual calculations suggest a $2.99-$3.19 range for price right now.  With prices in the area ranging from $3.10 to $3.29, I predict no price hike at least through Sunday, with prices drifting lower.
