My opinion remains the same.. Our old favorites like ADTK, UTHR..have become skeletons of their original glory days. CLRN and ADTK were among our 3 day holds (if you were lucky enough to stay put).. ADTK corrected and will most likely provide another trading opportunity on Monday. AMRI was a great long and perhaps an even greater short. What I notice and I watch a lot, are a lot more gap ups and gap downs than ever before. This makes for 1-2 forays into the same stock each day. It also provides good trading opportunities. I still will not hold for more than 3 days at the very most. Still relishing the discomfort of analysts when their picks on CNBC are down in the double digits sometimes in just a week. At this point I am betting on which analyst comes up with the most original explanation for his list of stocks failure. I know there are some strong stocks in non-technical areas but these are not highlighted or explored much on SI.. (Silicon Investor does have a special connotation) PHCM was a call for a few days but it was called short yesterday together with TUTS, MACR and ADRX. Some rare pharmaceutical companies and and Dow companies are showing strength but I have yet to see anything with staying power. ONIS has given us plays moving up and our techs are being good to us on earnings anticipation. Further than that are pipe dreams, unfulfilled wish expectations. LLY holders were desicated. FRX, we feasted on the remains without partaking of the original plunder. I hold only a few Dow and Pharmaceutical stocks now and not many shares of those. Any stock on a good uptrend for up to 3-5 days, is only a short opportunity in the making. I am mostly in cash at the end of a session, and still enjoy 3-4 option positions a week to capitalize on the upward movement of some of the more pricey tech stocks. My present goal is to come up with increasingly profitable strategies for capitalizing on the very short term trade and shorting, shorting, shorting.. rallies. Sure we'll take home a few that's what options are for. Biotechs are good one day and down the next.. semis are torn apart one day and become trading opportunities when one lone stock has the luck to actually have a decent earnings report. But only if its chart is a disaster to begin with, will it move up on the news. So we end up buying disasters and profiting. That is really quite ironic. Probably we are trading vampires smelling the blood and coming in for the feast. That might sound crude, but its true.

CTXS - we'll see what comes up on it Monday Jane. I intended to close out my position on it but got curious when wall after moving wall of large blocks were being put up on the ask side... then when someone takes a bite at it they'll take it out, only to reappear again... a phantom wall to scare buyers IMO.
