"Oversold, Undervalued, and Poised for a Short Squeeze, Poniard Pharmaceuticals announced on January 7th, the upcoming release of new data from two phase II clinical cancer trials and multiple presentations at upcoming conferences. With an approximate 25% short position in Poniard Pharmaceuticals, the TapeBeat.Com community expects that a ‘perfect storm’ for a massive short squeeze could be brewing as other goals for the company are met."

Great 1st week of 2010 for me as well.
Just checked my broker statements and my portfolio is up over 500% since the low statement of Jan. 31/09. From $8883.24 to $44434.57 just gains, no deposits. Forgot just how dismal things had gotten back then, but the Feb. 2009 statement was already over $23K with an early triple off of Nova Chemicals(NCX) via buyout. A little luck went a long way with that one, but holding ACLS for a triple and now GNVC is finally paying off and nearing double land.
Thanks so much for offering this great board Chartinator, it's certainly given me lots of great companies to check out. I don't post so much but I'll try to provide some decent ideas here over the next few months while I'm not working. Just signed up for my free premium Ihub trial today so I'll be around a little more as I take advantage of it.
Thanks again to all the great posters here and the excellent moderating that keeps this board so reader friendly. Best of luck to all this year.
Roth Analyst Joe Pantginis Ph. D. - joined Roth recently after Merriman Curhan Ford. His previous valuation target for Genvec was $2.50 - $3.50 so initiating with Roth at $4.00 also has him raising his target. Also points out that there is - "Potential upside to valuation. We approach our clinical NPV valuation conservatively."
Here is a link to what seems to be his full report for Merriman. Lots to read about what Genvec has going on and their potential.

In here @ .83
Out 8K SRZ just now @ 4.56 +50% Thank you Chartinator!
Got in a little later than most at $3.03 but got lucky holding a little longer for a very nice profit. Nice to head into our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend on a great trade.
Good Morning all, look's another great day.
How do I delete this double post?
STSI - News/U.S. FDA, in first tobacco action, bans flavors....
"Star Scientific (STSI.O) and other companies also make dissolvable smokeless tobacco products in various flavors."
http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idCNN2236998020090922?rpc=44
I wonder how much of their revs. are from the flavours?
So perhaps you'll agree this was a little uncalled for....
"what pull back SRZ news could be out after hours and you miss it......get in now while under $3 and before news duhhhhhhh lol"

In SRZ @ 3.03. Acting like we may get that news today. Hope it's good.
8K at 3.03
TY Chartinator! Out 21K STSI @ 1.14 from 1.02 Friday...
moved up a couple levels on the 3% scale.
Looking to day trade STSI today
Swapped my 26K ACLS @ .85 for a shot with 21K STSI @ 1.02. Could have done so much better but ACLS was such a laggard this morning I thought I'd take a shot. I can't remember a stock where they piss around with the closing price so consistantly. .826 !? crikey
STSI - nice to see it hold above $1. all afternoon but it would have been a little comforting to have a little run into the close. Figure the downside risk to be in the 5 - 10% range with a much higher upside potential. Good luck, have a nice weekend.
STSI - in here with 21K @ 1.02
Book-to-bill for Japanese equipment makers also shows turnaround.
Link (scroll down for english)
http://www.seaj.or.jp/statistics/data/SEAJBBExpR200908.pdf
ACLS - I agree we could see another surge starting tomorrow.
Semi equipment industry continues to gain traction based on the August Book-to-Bill ratio released today after the close. I'm hoping that helps move us up.
Yep, I was there on that one too. Sold mine for a pretty decent loss but at least I kept my wife's to $4+ I looked long and hard at CAR when it was <.40 : ( I certainly doubt if I'd have held on to the $13.+ it's at today.
Very nice Book-to-Bill ratio for August.
I'm guessing/hoping that money managers use these ratios to justify buying stock in equipment manufacturers. It certainly shows the business cycle is continuing to turn around.
Here is is the link:

Now hopefully we'll see it have an effect on the share price tomorrow and next week.
It was odd but but timely. I grabbed 29K at .79 from a sell earlier at .88 Totally wasn't expecting such a shake, just got lucky.
Hoping for stellar book-to-bill ration this afternoon from semi.org
Not really sure how much weight to give those numbers but July's report coincided perfectly with ACLS pps moving from the low .50's to where it's at now. Their industry is certainly picking up again.
APPY ? Any thoughts from you folks here would be greatly appreciated. Just bought today based on the chart. Having ben trading much over the summer but I'll be hanging around here a bit more. Held my entire trading account in ACLS since late May for a double. Looking for something to diversify with. Looking at SRZ but I guess I'm hoping for a pullback.
This board still rocks.
ACLS - Been in since late May but swapped some for BGZ on Thursday hoping to catch a dip and buy back even more. Betting we get some good industry stats this week either Tuesday or Thursday after the close. Semi conductor industry is just gaining traction again and Axcelis has a decent balance sheet. Low risk decent reward and a pretty good chance of a good sized pop to $2.+
Now if only BGZ has a good start to the week.
5.25 here too
"A trillion-dollar storm is gathering over the commercial real estate landscape that's threatening to add further pain to an already bruised US economy. At the center of the worries is some $3.5 trillion in debt backed by everything from strip malls to offices and apartments across the nation -- the lion's share of which is badly underwater because this recession followed a five-year commercial property boom fueled by easy money and loose underwriting standards."

"Direxion To Tie Leverage To Monthly Returns"
http://www.indexuniverse.eu/sections/newsinfocus/5614-direxion-files-for-41-new-etfs-tied-to-monthly-returns.html
"If you were to assume that based on this cumulative return of the index, the bull fund would have experienced a 27% loss and the bear fund would've experienced a 27% gain, you would unfortunately be incorrect," wrote the company in the document. "In fact, for that time frame, the bull and bear funds returned -34.46% and 6.32%, respectively."
I've been considering shorting FAS as opposed to going long FAZ due to this type of action, just worried about the possibility of a margin call due to their volatility. I've never shorted anything before except indirectly by buying FAZ. Of course the conspiracy theorist in me is saying "why do they release this news today......?"
Thanks for that, I also found that earlier today. Still trying to find what specific companies are held in the RIFIN.
I found this weightings list which matches your info. It's a list of the RIFIN weightings. Haven't found any specific holdings info for the rifin yet.
