Sure, count up the dogs in the past 36 months that have done that very thing. It is a big list, btw... The thing with XTRN is that they seem to not want the share price to rise much, remember this post about them being issued a new patent and not putting out a news release? Message 19562922 How do I decide when to sell now? Same as always, years of experience... I have never used a trailing stop..

CDC Reports 93 Flu-Related Deaths in Children> (Reason I post this is the brain? trust at XTRN has a rapid test development contract from the National Insitutes of Health for this very thing... xtrana.com Could eventually be a stock price driver) NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Since this year's flu season began in October, 93 children have died from influenza-related causes in the US, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Thursday. The children ranged from 4 weeks to 17 years of age and just over half of the patients were female, the Atlanta-based agency notes in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report for January 9. Although 35 of the children had chronic medical conditions, 41 seemed to be completely healthy before contracting influenza. Thus far, most of the deaths occurred in December, followed by November and October, the report indicates. Of the 45 children with a documented vaccination status, only one child had evidence of adequate vaccination against the flu, the CDC states. A few were partially vaccinated, but most of the children were not vaccinated. Twenty-five children were reported as having pneumonia and 15 children were found to have co-existing bacterial infections. Infection with influenza virus was confirmed in all cases through various tests conducted before or after death, lead author Dr. I Shui and colleagues note. "Because laboratory-confirmed influenza illnesses and deaths among children are not nationally reportable conditions, the number of deaths reported this season cannot be compared directly with previous influenza seasons, and the proportion of illnesses associated with death cannot be estimated," the CDC notes. To better characterize the impact of the disease on children, the CDC is asking health professionals to report any suspected flu-related deaths to them through state and local health departments.
