MUSE might work as a long scalp or swing (pullback rebound)from the daily timeframe. On the intraday 5min timeframe it just (10:30AM EDT) bounced off the declining 200MA in the after a 2.3 point move up off the open on 715,000 shares... so it's really too extended intraday, to enter here without excessive risk (need a pullback; it's starting one now). You do have the sector action working for you, as software is rebounding today (MUSE is in the net mgmt software business). However, haven taken profits on our overnight longs on the runup, we're not that hot on entering Nasdaq longs here going into the doldrums... you'd probably be better off to wait for the final 90 minutes of trading and see how the market's holding up before considering any new longs today.

The biggest negative I see about MUSE is, it has been chopping around in a fairly wide sideways trading range for 6 weeks after undergoing a major decline (accompanied by bad news/CEO+CFO resignations, etc)... so the underlying trend is sideways. I'd prefer to trade a pullback in a trending stock so that the strength of the underlying trend is working in my favor. Also, MUSE is currently trapped just under it's 50-period MA on the daily. Hope that's helpful.

Good trading, Steve
