BKS over 5 points now.. could be the alliances it keeps making for their selling books on line and could move even more. I wish I had gotten in but I didn't think it would go this high. LCOS..I'm keeping that for a while. I would like to pick up NSOL some time next week for their earnings report on the 13th of July. PAYX.. sold that one too soon. Still on strong uptrend.
