Thursday, March 30th, 2006

PLXS gapped down, but closed up yesterday - which is strong.
CELL had unusual volume.
ARNA looks like it could explode at any time.
AAPL and AQNT had nice reversals at their 200-dmas yesterday.
CELG broke out yesterday, I think it will go up more.
GOOG had a nice day yesterday, I didn’t even notice it until now.
