DryShips (DRYS): The stock has had a very powerful thrust off the lows. A nice bullish consolidation above the moving averages has taken place, particularly in the last 4 days when the volume was extremely low. The moving averages held, the stock then broke on Wednesday and followed up on Friday, when it gained another 1.83 on 24 1/2 million shares. That volume was the heaviest in 2 weeks. The mid-December level was around 13.30, so a very strong chance we may test or exceed that and head up to the 17-18 area, perhaps as high as the 22-23 zone, depending on market conditions.

Sequenom (SQNM): With tops in the 21-21 1/2 area continually being pressed and tested, and with a current flag pattern underway, I think it's very possible that a takeout may occur very quickly and a thrust to the 24 1/2-25 range could be imminent, not to mention a further test and a run-up to 28-29, the Sep-Oct highs. But what I’m really looking for is a move that takes this up to 38-40, the top of the channel, over the course of the next few weeks.

Cogent (COGT): The stock has moved out of a long base. Over the last few days it's edged up quietly on low volume. It's right around the 21-day moving average. If it can get a little burst here, it could make a run at the top of the channel and get up to the 16 3/4-17 range, which would be my next trading target.

China Sky One Medical (CSKI): This is in a beautiful rising bull flag on low volume, with great technicals. There's no reason why it can't move higher. It's currently about to be testing the June all-time high up in the 16 range. I’m expecting that to break out and then move up towards the 20 area or thereabouts.
