Great! Will be fun to watch as it gets discovered now.
EP: I am still learning and only share that which has been working for me, though it may not be exactly what you would like here. I don't want to post anything here that is not in the best interest of everyone here. I have tried to contribute as best I can in the stage I find myself. I learn something just about every day, so I hope that will be of benefit. I will definitely post any good ones where MACD has "kissed" the 50dma going up. Some of the ones I have posted don't fit any particular mold because they are story stocks and will do well I believe. I think CESV will make a nice move when it hits the NAZ today or tomorrow, and my thinking is it should go to at least 20 when it does.
Bot a little BOOM for pocket change. Made .84 in about three minutes. Didn't want to hold overnight, but I think it has a good pop in it for the morning. It looks on a roll IMO.
EP: Happy camper here re CESV. Once it goes on the NSM it should go to the 20's. Holding for that change, which is pretty soon.
Waverider: I also like that indicator.

Durn CESV was up again.
I got it at the bid on Friday a.m. I just put it in and hoped it would fill. It did.
Just wondering. Saw a post elsewhere that Triology is a paid pump for BIPH and to "be careful." Which is good advice without a paid pump. Crummy markets in here. With so much bearish sentiment, seems like we should be getting some buying with everything pretty much "on sale." I see CESV getting a little volume today....I say little. They have applied for the NAZ, so I think that word is getting out there....FWIW.
EP: Trilogy is a paid pump? re BIPH
Doubloon: Yep. Volume was very anemic, so that would be a big plus for it. Hope it continues.
thanks for the info on pump of BIPH
EP: I take 'em where I can get 'em at this point. I am up almost two points, so I may not be the brightest lamp on the block on this one, but bottom line is what counts for me. I have a tight leash on it.
Mentioned CESV here Friday. Doing well this morning.
Folks will see it on Monday Star. We will see.
EP: I knew it was coming soon, but not this soon. Glad I bot back, even though it was a little high. It won't be looking so high after while. Held the shares in the IRA throughout, so still a profit in that one.

Cha-Ching??
I think if a person does their homework and buys low, they can eventually sell high. I see lots of bargains myself. But then what do I know....
One more time: http://tinyurl.com/aq7ab
This chart is better re CESV:

CESV: I bot this one today at 8.40. Had a great move at EOD. Check into this one.

EP: Please give me your take on DVID. It has been a heck of a trader lately.
http://tinyurl.com/apgqj
Adding to my BIPH here to average better. Looks like it is responding to the drop with some buying.
Patents,not Patients....sorry
re BIPH: Took a fair loss in my regular account when I sold at the LOD. Unfortunately. Knee-jerk reaction. However, I forgot about shares in my IRA as I had to leave for an errand, but I am going to leave it alone. Less than half of what I had in my trading account. They have a lot of patients, so they have a few things going that way. I know the indicators (MACD in particular) show it is a broken stock right now. But, who knows what variables may kick in at any given time. May just sacrifice the present for the future, which may not work, so just my own take for now. I change my mind often...
Summing it up at EOD:
Reuters
Stocks Fly on Fed and Oil, Elan Jumps
Tuesday April 12, 6:22 pm ET
By Megan Davies
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rallied sharply on Tuesday, after minutes from the Federal Reserve alleviated worries about aggressive interest-rate hikes, while crude oil tumbled to below $52 a barrel.
The relief over the Fed's view lifted rate-sensitive bank stocks like Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C - News) , a Dow component, up 1.8 percent at $46.45, while the drop in oil prices boosted industrial stocks like Caterpillar Inc.(NYSE:CAT - News), up 1.4 percent at $91.39.
Meanwhile, shares of companies facing asbestos liability lawsuits soared after bipartisan Senate support appeared likely for planned legislation to create a $140 billion U.S. fund to compensate victims. W.R. Grace & Co. (NYSE:GRA - News) surged 32 percent, or $2.59, to $10.63, while USG Corp.(NYSE:USG - News) jumped 24.5 percent, or $8.63, to $43.90.
The Dow Jones industrial average (^DJI - News) was up 59.41 points, or 0.57 percent, to finish at 10,507.97. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (CBOE:^SPX - News) was up 6.55 points, or 0.55 percent, to end at 1,187.76. The Nasdaq Composite Index (NasdaqSC:^IXIC - News) was up 13.28 points, or 0.67 percent, to close at 2,005.40.
"There was nothing in the minutes that suggested that there was any more concern about inflation than had already been reflected in the statement they released after the meeting," said Alfred Kugel, chief investment strategist at Stein Roe Investment Counsel, an affiliate of Atlantic Trust.
"So people were relieved. Then you put on top of that the fact that oil went down pretty sharply, and all of a sudden, you have the ingredients for an up day."
RECIPE FOR A RALLY
Stocks reversed course and rebounded from early lows after the Federal Open Market Committee's minutes were released.
Investors cited reassurance that the Fed -- which has raised interest rates seven times since June -- would continue to increase the cost of borrowing gradually.
The minutes from the Fed's March 22 rate-setting meeting stated an opinion that an accelerated pace of monetary policy tightening "did not appear necessary at this time" -- similar to the statement released immediately after the Fed's meeting.
High interest rates dampen equities as they increase borrowing costs for companies and constrain consumer spending. So hints of aggressive tightening generally hit stock prices.
The Dow swung 168.85 points from its low point to its high for the session. Earlier in the day, the Dow came close to carving out a new low for 2005, falling to 10,360.92. The Nasdaq swung 37.23 points from its lowest to highest point during the session.
Wall Street got another dose of good news from the oil market. U.S. light crude (CLc1) futures for May delivery slid $1.85 to settle at $51.86, continuing to retreat from their recent record high at $58.28. Falling oil prices generally boost stocks, as they ease worries about clipped corporate earnings and weaker consumer spending.
U.S. Treasury debt prices swung higher, sending benchmark yields to a one-month low and reflecting relief in the bond market that the Fed intended to stick with gradual rate increases. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note (US10YT=RR) at one point touched 4.36 percent, its lowest since early March.
Financial services shares rose, driving the Philadelphia KBW Bank Index (AMEX:^BKX - News) up 1.17 percent.
Early in the regular session, stocks were dampened by the U.S. trade gap for February widening to a record $61.0 billion, according to a government report. That was greater than the $59 billion that economists polled by Reuters expected.
Among individual stocks, auto-related companies continued to fall, in the aftermath of Ford Motor Co.'s (NYSE:F - News) profit warning last Friday, and General Motors Corp. (NYSE:GM - News) warning last month.
Auto-part makers fell. Visteon Corp. (NYSE:VC - News), which gets about 70 percent of its revenue from Ford, fell 13 cents, or 2.5 percent, to $5.10. Ford fell 3.6 percent, or 38 cents, to $10.06, while GM slipped 25 cents, or 0.9 percent, to $29.
Shares of eBay Inc.(NasdaqNM:EBAY - News) fell 31 cents, or 0.9 percent, to $33.66, amid speculation that the company's earnings and outlook coming up on April 20 may disappoint.
Overall, trading was moderate, with 1.58 billion shares changing hands on the New York Stock Exchange, above the 1.46 billion daily average for last year. About 1.93 billion shares were traded on Nasdaq, above the 1.81 billion daily average last year. Advancers outnumbered decliners on the New York Stock Exchange by about 5 to 3 and by about 8 to 7 on Nasdaq.
ELAN SOARS AFTER THE BELL
After the closing bell, Elan Corp. (NYSE:ELN - News) shot up almost 19 percent to $4.48 on the Inet electronic brokerage network. Elan, an Irish drug maker, and Biogen Idec (NasdaqNM:BIIB - News), a U.S. biotech company, reported results from a trial of their suspended multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri, showing that it slows disability in relapsed MS patients. Biogen nudged up 1 percent to $37.20.
Also after the bell, ImClone Systems Inc. (NasdaqNM:IMCL - News) fell 10 percent to $31.76 after it said it will seek U.S. approval for its colon cancer drug Erbitux by the end of this year, pushing back its previous timeline. (Additional reporting by Anna Driver)
Well, not a lot of time to determine since all this transpired late in the day. Found this which I thought wrapped it up pretty well:
