FTK doing well.

so is CLH

ultraphoenix 10:28 AM

JNPR looking to break into gap. Watching closely. Gap fill would take it to 30, a nice 5 pt run.

Mac_Trader 10:39 AM

pkt is not impressing me this morning

Shaun Mitchell1 10:46 AM

I guess that GAZ short squeeze is over, as expected.

Julio 11:28 AM

FTK - Sold 1000s @ $11.45 - just over a bean gain.

EFHL62 01:12 PM

Biotech, pharma rotating back up. JAZZ, GILD, etc ... Prefer co's over precious metals.

baronadv 01:16 PM

pkt dropped quite a bit ... i bought some @19.10

Revshark 01:25 PM

GLD to green

ultraphoenix 01:28 PM

hmmm ... the SLV march 33 looks tempting.

beaky 01:47 PM

boy, GLD looks higher, textbook trend break, pullback and gap and go.

Revshark 02:06 PM

AG working nicely

Otto4 02:42 PM

CJES ... any news ... pretty high volume on this sell off?

Revshark 02:44 PM

Morgan Stanley downgrading CJES to Underweight based on valuation

Otto4 in reply to Revshark

Thanks Rev ... CJES is actually pretty cheap. I don't understand, but then I don't understand the valuation of ISRG either ... and their p/e has kept me out of that one.

Funny how ETFs are pricing today. Expected GLD to be down with TLT and UUP up? But FXE is also higher? Somebody must have spilled their coffee on the keyboard? No volume makes this market a spectator sport, since one major financial institution can drive everything. Over on Bloomberg, Bill Lockyer, Calif. Treasurer, was explaining how they got a short term $1 billion bailout to hold them over till June 28th. Seems tax revenues were overestimated to the tune of $528 million. Then we have the coming referendums on various revenue bonds that could conflict with the Gov. Brown's shifting redevelopment bonds to local governments? Say what?

We need to get the Fed to get out there and organize some HFTs to improve appearances. People are starting to compare Greece to California.

Position: Cash

Stocks are hovering around flat, but the credit market is trading very poorly. Bid-wanteds in cash are rolling in, especially in the go-go financial names....
