    Look at the biggest dollar gainers on the Naz and one in particular on the NYSE today (except for ISRG. What was that? A short squeeze?):

    FSLR: Up $9.74 (earnings tomorrow)
    MA: Up $10.59 (earnings Wed.) (huge short interest)
    RTP: Up $11.62 (earnings Thurs.)
    FWLT: Up $5.27 (earnings Aug. 8)
    SPW: Up $6.02 (earnings Wed.)
    GRMN Up $$5.17 (earnings Wed.)
    etc.

    Caught MA today and will be looking for continuation tomorrow. I like FWLT going forward, and FLR (earnings 8/7).

    RTP calls thinly traded, wide spread, good play if you buy on a pullback and/or limit order.

    ISRG went from $200 to over $216 today on no news that I'm aware of. Wish I'd caught that one---will be looking for follow-through or a short-term short/pullback. (Are they about to announce a split?)

    Depending on VLO's earnings tomorrow, possible follow-through on TSO, up $2.42 today with earings 8/7.

    Thoughts and/or additions welcome.
