Monday's Afternoon Stocks to Watch

The market is trading mixed in the afternoon today after a series of up days. (ZOLL) is up again after a minor pull-back last Friday from the $12 point move on Thursday. This stock still more legs to the upside.

Fellow (ISRG) in the medical field is up today. Rumor on the street indicating that (ISRG) maybe taken by (GE) with a price tag of $150. Volume on the stock is up almost 100% by midday. Price is up about $4.50. (ISRG) is definitely has the potential to be taken away because of the relatively small cap of less than 4 billion. I would keep an eye on it and see how well it played out.

The market is trading mixed in the afternoon today after a series of up days. The biggest IPO of the year is Nymex (NMX). It shot up over 120% at the open. It has never look back since. It peers are also up because of the successful IPO launch. (ICE) is in the similar business. Rumor on the street is that it maybe taken out by (NMX) with its fresh currency.

Thursday's Afternoon Stocks to Watch

The market is marching higher again today. The bull force is unstoppable. It open higher, then it went slightly down, and it is up again. The main reasons: price of oil is dropping below $57, down $2 today; more people want to get in; down day is buying day. The bull is alive.

(ZOLL) is a prime example of bull move. It is up almost $10 after it announced earning this morning. More upside for this one to come. (DKS) is another good example of bull run. It has been up for over 3 days after the earning annoucement.

Wednesday's Afternoon Stocks to Watch

The market is marching higher again in the afternoon. The uptrend is still intact. I believe there are more upsides coming. People are still waiting for pullbacks to get in. There are still a lot of money on the sidelines. I think it is still the time to buy right now. I am on margin now as well to take advantage of the upside movement. If you are short on funds, sell your losers and pick the strong stocks, you will be rewarded in this kind of market.
