Problems with my Computer...

Hey folks,

As you may have noticed, I haven't posted in a few days. My computer has recently crashed and I am in the middle of getting everything back in order in a few more days. Until I resolve this issue, my posting will be sporadic and just mostly updates since I won't be able to do my daily research. I apologize for inconvenience this may have caused to the readers who read my blog on a daily basis. Thanks for your understanding.

On the Move: Micro-Cap and Small-Cap Pharmaceutical Stocks

With the majority of the market groups lagging and languishing, it is surprising to find one group going against the tide and emerging ahead. The pharmaceutical sector has been performing quite well. While some of the big names have put in nice moves (AMGN, DNA, MYGN), there are several small, lesser known stocks that are starting to creep up the charts. Some of these include:

ALTH, CYTK, EMIS, EURX, HALO, MITI and NPSP
