Follow-up notes:
REPEAT: We are starting to see more and more speculative moves in stocks that will eventually become shortable. This could last for weeks or possibly a few months but with intermittent pullbacks. We have very low interest rates, low inflation, recovering economy, and still a lot of skepticism on the sidelinesall which makes an ideal situation for stocks to continue to rise.
This is becoming a ripe environment for bullshorts (see aggressive investor-trader box below).
BIIB, Biogen-Idec is looking very good for a long entry point now with Monday looking like right day to buy long. We should have a carryover on the downside on the market making BIIB an excellent long candidate as well as WLP below.
WLP, Wellpoint Health had that climactic bottom Thursday with higher and higher volume (look on the daily chart) and Friday the stock start moving up. There is still time left to buy this Monday but the train is leaving the station. Looking for a week hold to $62-63.
SSNC, SS&C Technologies is making a move up. A recent IPO can often really build into a momentum stock as the float (number of shares available for trading) can really cause big swings.

MIPI, Molecular Insight was a stock I saw earlier this week but lost track of it. This is another version of a bullshort chart pattern where it peaked on day 1 with some positive news and sold off from there. This is not a stock idea now but is being presented for education purposes. Please study Bullshorts in The Wizard Training Course BEFORE you attempt to use this trading technique.
