Matt or anyone -- any thoughts on this. . .

MA was trading at 304.23 at 4pm -- They did a big closing print at 320 (up 16pts) -- Then they ripped it back down after hours -- currently it's at 308.50 -- looks fishy to me. . .

blurb on ALNY -- watchlist stock

  Alnylam Pharmaceuticals: Takeda deal at least as impressive as the Roche deal on a comparable basis - Broadpoint Capital(28.50 -0.95) -Update-

Broadpoint Capital says that they view the Takeda deal as equivalent or potentially more attractive than the Roche deal and based on the market's early reaction, they believe some investors may not be making the correct comparison in assessing today's news. Firm says the headline of the Roche deal - "$331 mln  in upfront fees" - may make Takeda's "$150 mln in upfront fees" appear like a disappointment. However, the firm says when comparing the two deals on an apples-to-apples basis, they believe that the Takeda deal is at least as attractive for ALNY as the Roche deal was.

Renko

Posted by powerchord on 13th of May 2008 at 11:29 am

Hi Guys --

in my brief experience with Renko charts, i have noticed that they might give a signal then a day or two later that signal is no where to be found. For example: The GDX chart on Sunday (presented in Matts newsletter) showed a buy (based on the stochs, psar & ma cross). if you look at the renko gdx chart today the stochs have never crossed 20 & the psar never gapped. 

I think this makes back testing suspect 

Chart won't post - i'll have to read the directions

GDX

GDX daily on Renko looks like a buy -- Are you still holding for a swing -- thanks

Thoughts on GDX -- Your custom Stochs & renko daily say BUY -- The renko 15 & 60 say sell --

The Hui seems to have fallen back under the neck line. Please share your thoughts. Thanks

Matt:   On your custom stoch cross

Posted by powerchord on 8th of May 2008 at 11:28 am

Matt:

 

On your custom stoch cross over 20; do you wait for the K & D to both cross or do get in as soon as the K crosses? Thanks

 

 

GDX custom stoch crossed over 20
