TRADE--in UTHR at 20 this is a truly exciting story and the stock has pulled back from being overbought. Barcelona meeting is august 28-sept 1 and they will present there. profiled in IBD and we mentioned it on the thread before then. it was at 24 not long ago--brokers targets at 33 and 34 for next year.

Jenna: covered my AMZN short. Buying CVTX 14 3/4, adding at 13 1/4, 12 1/2 with a Buy-stop at 16 1/4. The market's drop today directly related methinks to the lousy Trade Deficit number. I think too that this will be forgotten in a day or two...just in time for the FOMC meeting. Buy stocks we like (XLNK et al) on this weakness? Yeah, I'm gonna do a little scale-down nibblin...and re-short AMZN and BCRX on an intra-day rally if we get one. Gotta play both sides of the street. (Lee)

MONEY magazine: Lay of the land: Mentions SI and MG talking about message boards.. www.money.com ..Nicknamed SI by its users, Silicon Investor is the upscale neighborhood in town, attracting a high percentage of advanced investors and active traders. Anyone can read the messages for free, but to post your own thoughts you have to pay ($200 lifetime, $60 half-year). The fee may give SI an elitist air, but it's just steep enough to deter the less serious from joining, and many discussion threads are earnest indeed. "Stocks go down ultimately for fundamental reasons," writes dppl, the founder of the popular Technical Analysis for Shorts and Longs thread. "But these reasons are often foreshadowed by technical indications [that] can show the writing on the wall before the wall is even visible." Highlights: Not surprisingly, considering the site's address, tech discussions are by far the most popular forums. Some, like Dell, Intel and Compaq, have attained near legendary status, thanks to the variety and intelligence of their posts. But there are also good forums that are not focused on individual stocks, such as Market Gems, with its bent toward short-term trading, or Ask Michael Burke, where a guy named, yep, Michael Burke, opines on subjects ranging from economics to John Travolta. Fitting in: Like a gated community, SI quickly escorts rule breakers out of town. Those who violate the site's hallowed Terms of Use by posting advertisements or abusive or obscene comments get booted without a refund. It's probably no accident, then, that unlike at most message sites, many participants here feel comfortable enough to post under their real names rather than kooky handles. Warning: Even the best neighborhoods have back alleys. You should avoid the $5-and-under forums not only here but wherever you travel, since those areas tend to attract users more interested in pumping stocks than analyzing them.
