ODD BALL Friday! ... (TPTX) , (ASTM), (PCBC)

TORREYPINES THERAPEUTICS INC (TPTX) $6.70-0.032 (-0.48%)

San Diego based...hmmm... just reported earnings so hopefully not too much more down side this quarter...money is heading toward health/bio...and this company has 55mil cash on hand...they merged with Axonyx Inc last year...

...at $6.70 the down side toward the 52-week low is under 10%...
(TPTX)
52 - Week Range
6.15 - 11.60
10/23/06 - 4/21/06

our desired entry point is under $6.60 (use limit orders)...and with such low volume, set sell targets at 5% or 10% gains (depending on size of your BUY) ...remember this is a "speculative odd ball Friday pick"....don't bet the farm, ....happy Friday!

PCBC 26.24-0.72 (-2.67%)

....sub-prime, oh nooooo....

BUY ON THE DIP!

Interesting DAY for the HK....oil down, HK up! we like that...

HK took a dip in the AM on overall bad oil news......did anyone get in then? ... oil stayed down, but PETROHAWK obviously has support and finished the day in the green. HK $14.15+0.10 (+0.71%)


WOW and check out the END OF DAY big green bar buy.... right before the buzzer~!


Looks like we were about a day early on our BUY RECO.

But that looks like a DIP to us.

Break on through!

and yes, OIL and our baby (HK) 13.92 -0.13 (-0.93%) is falling another 1% so far today, and was down 2% for a second this morning...., we knew we should have been a bit more patient, we even said to be patient, but alas we got too excited......wait longer to re-buy...but before ANALYST DAY on April 26th and EARNINGS Report around May 10th... those are our next catalysts!

China rate concerns, and other fun news.....

MPEL looks to give back some gains, on news that CHINA's rates may change...

and OIL looks to be headed down....(HK) too....we are actually happy about this, as it opens the opportunity to take our second shot/ re-buy of PETROHAWK...lets watch and wait...

PETROHAWK (HK) added to WATCHLIST ....M&A target confirmed.

PETROHAWK (HK) $14.37 -0.34 (-2.31%)

We have liked this one for over a month. We almost added on the last dip, but got gun shy....this time we are close , we want a bit more of a dip, then BUY.

Please let it go down a bit more before buying...go team!!!!

This one is getting bought, thats what this CEO does.

NEWS:
Friedman Billings reiterates Outperform. Target $21 to $24. Friedman Billings adds HK to their Top Picks list and raises their tgt to $24 from $21 noting HK shares have rallied since the start of the year, as management has consistently highlighted its desire to focus on the co's operations. With management also contemplating the possibility of monetizing just its Permian assets, the firm believes the co is in a great position. The firm says on one hand, M&A comps suggest the company could be sold for near a $20 takeout, without commanding a huge premium. Further, if only the Permian assets are sold or spun out in an M.L.P structure, they believe mgmt would fetch at least $3 per share in value.

We don't make this stuff up....DLSL 3.20 +0.58 (+22.14%)

Investing is getting easier, faster, and sexier!!!

Exchanges are finding new opportunities to trade more unique products and technology improvements and innovations are catering toward a 24 hour a day platform. Trading from your home office, chillin' in a pair of sweatpants and hoodie. Sounds like the life, right?

The stock market is an exciting place, and like Texas Hold'em Poker over the past 5 years, the boom is coming...now is the time to get in, ahead of the average joes.....new traders, younger traders, more active traders...Exchanges are going to reap the most benefit, but brokerage firms, investing vehicles, and investment educators like Investools (although a bit cheesy with their infomercials at 2am) are going to become MAINSTREAM....you get our point.

The DIPology behind the DIPfolio!

The DIPfolio is comprised of stocks that are at or near potential bottoms...we say we like bottoms, and we do!
.
....it's like searching for the last cold beer in the fridge.
.

The key is to find a sexy stock on the DIP...**check the crisper, behind the lettuce**...we like one's down 5% or more, and the DIP Logic says that if the company is strong and the market is strong then the stock that is on a temporary DIP will rebound. Again we like to take quick gains at the 5% and 10% profit points. Always lock in the gains, this is a short term game. Trade in the relative near term (1-3 weeks)...and remember to always have an extra pair of striped socks.
