Hi SHOO settled an outstanding suit that related to the stratton oakmont fiasco. It has been edging up , volume has been high for approximately 3 days(big for 2 days, today already exceeded avg) It is now exceeding its 52 week high. I thought a look at ta may show a breakout. ?? It is a shoe company with associated products similar to KennethCole. Steve Madden. Its stores are in major malls. People love the shoes. Just thought it may be worth a look Kim

VVUS continues to break down today on increasing volume. Nice move to 12 3/4 after I managed to get short at 13 1/4. Looks like I may have this one nailed.

Some ADTK Numbers to chew on, as well as Insider Trades and Earnings est.'s. IMO, The Numbers look strong! Should be a good one. A bit pricy for my taste and wallet, but it does look good!
