Yep! Thar she blows! Aye Capn'..Tis Moby SOHU! Th' great white whale! Shall we chase her into the deeps?!?

Well, it was nice to see it go up 5%... Kinda made me warm all over for about 15 minutes...

And there goes SOHU down 2%

from +5% to -2% in hours

As I wrote today - I'd normally be buying but since news only keeps up stock for a few hours why bother - yet another example.

You can only daytrade now - nothing else.

TM.. I understand.. I don't follow THOR, just recognized it as a ticker you blogged about. In fact, I don't even know what time I say the news about SOHU and THOR.. Suspect it was 4 AM-ish West Coast time.

And I do understand your being a fund. Not sure how you do it. Hard to tell what anything is going to do on a weekly basis... But SOHU does look like it is trading between $46 and $57... Which is where I get off!

By the way.. I pulled up HEV on a scan for low Beta stocks (I was looking for stocks moving up irrespective of the S&P) that are beating their indeces. On a daily it is (was?) above MA20 and MA50. It's a newer stock and doesn't have much of track record. But it's earning growth is exceptional. Proprietary lithium batteries with connections to auto and govt. Maybe it doesn't work for you here, but it might be worth keeping on your radar.

Anyway.. Great Blog.. Like your commentary... jegan

shax, not a biotech - its medical device

jegan, it was not down "again" - it was down after hours Friday and this morning down a lot less.

As for SOHU, BIDU and all those - again its just daytrading and not something I can participate in. Until something can hold a bid and advance over a period of weeks it's impossible to invest. 1-3 day holding periods are not really my thing.

Just caught Thor on the premarket tape .. looks like getting out was a good idea. Down again today.

Sohu is doing well for me today.. Watched the tape state that its advertising income was way up as a result of the Olympics.. Now I have to decide if I want to ride it up, or dump it with a 5% bump.... Hope BIDU gets a ride off this news..

This is very unusual that a small medical company has 5 patients die (and presumably multiple other patients notified) due to a problem and it did not leak. You have so many people involved (5 families dealing with the death, the whole medical community, attorneys, the company, etc.).
