@B Russ - we may getting close to run-up on FB before earnings - if it's following usual pattern imo

 

check out VISI +33%

 

@B Russ - FTNT reports after the bell - this is a fav

 

Thanks but think i'm done playing today - market is not like it was last week + started late so wasn't even sure i was going to get a play today. Couldn't make up my mind between HMNY or PETS which gave back all ER gains but went with the safer one >> PETS & made a bit more there than i would have with HMNY.

 

@Neil Allen SORL reversal on weekly + ER due mid-Nov.

 

good entry point for AKAM @ $53.40; SIFY: $1.41 having a rough day, but earnings were good.

 

SORL - with a PE:4 - sticking with this one

 

watchlist gainers: XNET: $8.08 + 12% / ZAGG: $15.73 + 8% / VIPS: $8.35 + 5% / RFIL: $2.70 + 4%

 

"we may getting close to run-up on FB before earnings - if it's following usual pattern imo"

thanks neil. was watching it as well. I agree a run up is in order.

 

ONCS moving up BUT Steve Cohen (hedge) 13G filing over on SEC not happy b/c he is a known short term player that has messed with a few of my other plays >> WTW - OLN - CARA which got an initial spike after he got in but didn't do that well until he was done playing so i may be selling & playing with him lol

Used to keep track of Cohen's 13F filings & was wondering about IMGN so went to SEC & he can't be blamed for IMGN BUT CARA - ADAP - EXPR - SAGE are another story lol. He doesn't have much left so maybe they will all be moving back up soon. Also still has a good bit of OLN but must not be into shorting that one lately.

HA just found another one & believe he was all out of WTW at one point & it started heading north real nice but he must have bought more or i missed seeing his shares - only has 16k left so no biggie.

 

The Clear Reason Alkermes Plc's (NASDAQ: ALKS) shares jumped by as much as 12%.

 

AKAM @ 52.18 - good entry point - terrific earnings report; RVP: .73 +9% (insider buying)

 

Welcome to the thread - chart reversal on ALKS - closing in on 200 DMA:

 

NTCT - check out gap:

 

FB - right on time + $5

 

Morning! Playing ETE. CYTK was my other choice & it too is doing well. Watching ACIA.

 

watching all 3 - want to know how you do this

 

Are you playing short?

 

Gotta go - can't multitask - & nice red candle on ETE

 

TWTR moving big on upgrade. I got some calls this morning. And i wonder, do you all ever try to scalp up or downgrades? Does it fare well for you when/if you do? It seems usually the big move happens in the first minute or two of market open. Sometimes fills gap, sometimes keeps moving the same direction. I really havent figured out a reason or rhyme why they act different.
