John,
ACTM and HPRT were my 2 top picks fromt the list. My criteria's were simple: chart formations, net negative eps, market cap, average daily volume and gut feeling. I choose ACTM over HPRT because of ACTM's industry over HPRT. HPRT may surprise us with a good report of something working better than expected, a new device, another patent on another surgical technique, or something that may spike the price. I can not see ACTM announcing any type of "surprise news". ACTM will have to turn its business around to do better, which isn't easy or they would have done so already. I jumped before I did full due dilly, and took a small short position jsut to stimulate my interest.
Let the research begin!
