Hey did anyone notice CFON is trying to rise from the dead. If it gets over 5, could be good for a few points. Today it was up over 50% on half a million shares

SWRX was a similar play as.. The holding company, CCEE was up on the SWRX ipo news and then good for 3 pts down as it turned out that the IPO languishes. Same cook as WCAP/COOL, but not with that magnitude. Story is already repeating itself with BKS (Barnes and Noble.com). Bob, I have another question about Data Mining: Is there an easy way to find recent short-term pop ups (consider SRCM, CFON, ITEX,WCAP, XYBR,KLB and many others where money was to earn). Sometimes I see it in daily ups, and do some charting then but I can't catch all of interesting situations. So it happened that I missed SRCM, and EGGS, squeezing out a few bucks on already discounted prices. The output could look like this. Stocks with biggest gains in 1,2,5,10,20 days (also on the opposite), perhaps with a filter for prices over $5, and the "platform price" (ie the avg before the runup.). Maybe also a tool with volume increase alerts. I promise will post findings with such a tool to contribute some short ideas. No stocks to lend at Datek at present, carrying the "NS" sign: INKT, NETG, AMZN,KTEL, ENMD (not marginable either). Thankyou, so far. Christian
