SpongeTech (SPNG) Regroups at 50 Day Moving Average, Reverses
2008-03-05 14:54:00 I have a confession to make…as much as I’m in love with my newest favorite small cap company - SpongeTech Delivery Systems (SPNG) - the stock is driving me nuts. I thought we finally took off the handcuffs in mid-February when the short sellers got out of their positions, and the stock rallied from 1.5 to 4.9 cents. ... More About: General , Moving , Average
Applied DNA (APDN) Hangin? In There
2008-03-04 23:37:00 After peaking at 22 cents in early February, Applied DNA (APDN) hasn’t been quite as impressive as the run from 9 cents to that 22 cent high (a 144% differential). However, we can say this much…we’re seeing the stock hold its ground. The 17 cent mark seems to be the line in the sand; that’s where ... More About: General
Spicy Pickle (SPKL) Sinks Under Support?But May Be a Good Thing
2008-03-04 22:38:00 Here’s the recent chart of Spicy Pickle (SPKL)…pretty straight-forward as far as I’m concerned. The support line broke today, allowing SPKL to trade as low as 91.5 cents. As you can see, that’s also under the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is a matter of perspective. If you ...

2008-03-04 00:11:00 Anybody else like to see a stock rally 12.6% in one day? Then direct your attention to Questcor Pharmaceuticals (QSC). This stock did exactly that when they reported a kick-butt quarter…and year. The market - which had a take it or leave it attitude about Questcor for the better part of the last three months ...

Stocks That Actually Went Up On Friday
2008-03-03 04:31:00 Geez there’s a lot of red on my screen today. Kind of disgusting if you’re holding long positions…three weeks worth of gains were wiped away in one day - literally. Welcome to a bear market (in my opinion). The water gets really choppy when the bigger trend starts to point lower, so I think we ... More About: Stocks , General , Friday

Google?s (GOOG) Reduction in ?Accidental Clicks? a Revenue Problem? Serious
2008-02-19 21:33:00 To my memory, this is the first time the emperor - Google (GOOG) - has even hinted that he might not be wearing any clothes. The search engine giant reported their Q4 and full year results today. And, Q4’s sales were a little light. The reason Google gave? Fewer accidental clicks. Maybe it’s just me, but ...

2008-02-11 17:00:00 Per my 2008 stock market predictions, I wasn’t a bit surprised to learn last week Microsoft (MSFT) was making a bid for Yahoo (YHOO). If it wasn’t them, it would be somebody else. Microsoft just seemed like the obvious choice, since Google (GOOG) doesn’t really need Yahoo. As you’ve undoubtedly learned by now, Yahoo isn’t keen ... More About: General , Check , Yahoo!
