RookieDave..from this group I like PAUH with the most improving
chart and RAM another improving chart.. I think that AR and NTPA
look a bit overbought and could be gotten after a little pullback.
MURXF is an interesting stock:
INTERNATIONAL MUREX TECH COM - MURXF - DAILY PRICES
AFter MURXF reported on March 2, it gapped up a bit and
volume was over 150% of 30 day average. Only it slid back
to 8.750 in a relatively short time. I like the sector
and this company needs more watching.
