[13:38] {Threei} XNPT Hearing Wedbush making positive comments on prospects for FDA meeting (8.78, +0.30, 3.54%)
[13:39] {Threei} how does Wedbush know?
[13:40] {larisa} WEDBUSH is a private equity and investment firm that provides capital and management assistance to talented entrepreneurs and executives
[13:40] {larisa} you are not talented enough :)
[13:40] {Threei} certainly
[13:41] {Threei} - Hearing Wedbush believes XNPT could get a panel date 'sooner rather than later'
[13:41] {Threei} - reminder: on 3/2, a boutique firm made similar comments, stating that Xenoport is 'very close' to being granted an FDA Advisory panel to review the benefit/risk ratio of XP-512 in the RLS setting and could get final confirmation any day.
[13:43] {Threei} my non-talented guess would be, Wedbush stuck with XNPT at much higher prices, got caught in that gap and tries desperately tp move it, to unload into spikes
[13:43] {Threei} but that's from a non-talented, so...
[13:44] {dino} out bsx .75, +.10
[13:45] {larisa} they help Cramer i bet. Cramer said AMLN is short last week at 19.
[13:45] {Threei} lol
[13:45] {Threei} that's talented
[13:49] {larisa} I like how trendlines work, AMLN broke uptrend at .80 then touched it from downside at .90, then tanked.
[13:49] {Threei} very visual
[13:50] {larisa} and indicators divirged starting at 13:25, agressive warning top is near
[13:51] {Threei} which ones?
[13:51] {larisa} they are secret ones :) not telling all world
[13:52] {larisa} just a joke. I use SMIs, slow and fast
[13:55] {Threei} SMI?
[13:55] {fernp} SMI?
[13:55] {larisa} but most oscillator type indicators will show divergence
[13:56] {larisa} Stochastic Momentum index
[13:56] {Threei} is it different from stochastic?
[13:56] {RonS} larisa slaps a big jf trout...
[13:58] {nemo} mmmhhh, we might end positive today, this is a very low volume pullback
[13:58] {larisa} interpretation is the same vad, formula is different
[13:58] {Threei} got it
[13:59] {Threei} it's a nice one for a reversal
[13:59] {Threei} in trend it tends to fail
[14:00] {larisa} like any oscillator. But I do not use it as overbought/oversold. I like to watch divergence
[14:01] {Les} MNKD
[14:01] {RonS} ...saw somewhere that China has a 10.8% increase in electricity useage last month. With there inflation they will need to raise rates. This should pressure stocks...

[15:15] {Threei} - BSX does not know when hold will be lifted.
