I wouldn't touch this stock right now. The stock has gapped down quite a bit on what appears to be no news as of yet. Either insiders are dumping and or negative news will soon be released. If you have been watching this stock closely and noticed that the MMs gapped the price down quickly on relatively low volume, then I might consider taking a short term long position. I personally have never liked PCLN much since the IPO days so I can't give you much more info than that. Good luck!

Claims Rise, Stocks Fall Despite Dell Computer's (DELL) favorable guidance, stocks are poised to fall slightly at the open amid a much bigger-than-expected rise in jobless claims and earnings warnings from Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) and Checkpoint Software (CHKP). Bonds rose following the claims data and world markets are under pressure.
The major market averages all broke support yesterday. Investor sentiment is not bearish enough to look for a bottom, so the market appears to be looking for a test of late January to mid Feb. base. The S&P and Naz are near the top of their short term channel so expect them to test the lower end. The stongest market averages, S&P small and mid cap, and Russell 2000 haven't broken down quite yet, but the weakness in the big caps will likely spill over and drag these down. MSFT short still looks like a good play. MO - Buy Finishing new base after a major move up this year. This base generates a $60 short term target if you're willing to hold for a while. Support/Stop @ 51.75
