MERX, VRTX and MVSN went up a heck of a lot more when they were earnings plays in a stronger market climate whether we talked about it or not. If the market is that cockeyed that 2 points here or there make that much difference when quite a few stocks were up today, but not as many as were ups in "MERX' heyday just goes to show the starvation for something good amongst this ruin. VRTX showed the same resilience after it was on the watch list on November 27 and our talking about it did not keep it from moving up 18% on the November 29 10> Vertex Pharmaceuticals VRTX Price - 64 15/16 Improving short term technicals as VRTX moves above its 200 and than the 150 day moving average as well on Friday. The trend is still down but weaker now after two days of reversals to the upside. If VRTX moves below 63, it could be a short play until it retests the 61.45 the 150 period moving average and then down to 53.43 the 200 day moving average. Message 14886370 or Friday at midnight when we called MVSN a sink or swim trade and it swam rather well. Today was MERX's turn to shine. Hopefully there will be more stocks to shine in the next few weeks. marketgems.com Message 14922085
