TopD I thought that first upgrade actually took air out of the stock. I can't remember the exact particulars but the stk was $12.60 or so and the PT was not that far ahead of that. That kind of help we don't need. This stock has an AKAM quality to it that it tough to pin down. Then a second upgrade with 1 1/2 extra upside got folks interested again. As you know I had picked $12.40 area as an entry point and now I'm left wondering if letting that 20 cents stop me was the right move. Honestly, I think it was. The stock is acting a little top heavy in my opinion. I am sticking with $12.40. ~stoney As to the " X " factor I can say I would NOT trade on that stuff. But I might just give you a big ole' bear hug!
The Fed spoke and the market listened! Though the major indices traded in a narrow, sideways range throughout the morning session, stocks immediately rocketed higher after the Federal Reserve Board hinted at a possible easing of economic policy going forward. The Nasdaq Composite led the way with its 2.0% gain, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average notched equally impressive gains of 1.7% and 1.3% respectively. The small-cap Russell 2000 surged 1.8% higher and the S&P Midcap 400 advanced 1.4%. Each of the major indices closed near their intraday highs. Higher turnover across the board finally confirmed the market's gains, breaking the pattern of declining volume on every "up" day. Total volume in the NYSE increased by 12%, while the Nasdaq volume came in 26% above the previous day's level. Both exchanges registered an "accumulation day" that was clearly indicative of institutional buying. Advancing volume in the NYSE blew away declining volume by a margin of 11 to 1! The Nasdaq ratio was also quite positive at nearly 7 to 1.
Watch REFR today Folks. late day break out > 2:00 yesterday unuaual and I'm hoping a signal of more strength to come. ~stoney
Alright here's the deal I don't like ANAD because it's a chip into cell phones. Motorola is down. Can they be a supplier to Apple for their phone - that's the long shot bet here and a risk I'm willing to take in a not so great cellphone environment.

Ungloriously In on ANAD @ $12.74. big too. 1200. Making a bet here making a statement. I need a certain type of stock in my online account. Enough small fry crap. I can't stand seeing too many $3 stocks in the account. This is where I want to be a stock that now is $13 and has a good shot at $20 by mid June.
anad doesn't look like a bad purchase but a lot of resistance @ $13.00 lets watch what the market does if the markget goes up anad will go up if the market drop, anad will float into a dung hehe
