Raining Cats and Dogs.

Here are the top 10 performing stocks today...
 This is one of the few, that while a C&D in price, at least has some decent volume, but... it rallied mostly with a ton of Cats and Dogs Biotechs, essentially Biotechs were moving today and even though this one has some volume, the price still makes it a speculative C&D stock as far as I'm concerned. The volume surge today was 828% of the normal 200 day average volume.

 This is a C&D because of its average 200 day volume of 105k shares, it saw a 8673% move in volume today.

 Another C&D on a 1804% volume surge, normally about 20k shares traded a day!

 A real C&D with a 1436% surge in volume, average daily volume of about 16k shares!

 This one rallied nearly 28% on 3400 shares total today

 How about this surge of 774%, average volume around 10k a day.

 A 28% gain on 200 shares!

 A C&D that trades about 330k shares on a 512% surge in volume 65k shares a day, makes it a C&D stock.

 The price may not look like a C&D, but the average volume of 65k, with a surge of 1417% today...

A 1684% surge in volume, normally around 80k a day.

Note that 5 of 10 were either biotechs or Ocean shippers.

I counted the top 150 performers today, there were 20 that were not Cats and dogs of the top 150, about 1/3 of those were shipping companies., followed by Biotechs and several other industries.

There were 222 stocks that gained more then 5% today, of that, 154 were Cats and Dogs. I stopped counting at 5% gain.

When looking at all stocks in the system and this doesn't include OTC/Pink Sheets, but stocks listed on the major exchanges, this is how today broke down:


1645 of 7224 gained between .01% and half of 1%
2568 of 7224 gained at least .01%
4656 of 7224 were either unchanged at 0% or at a loss

The theme today was clearly that the Cats and Dogs were rallying in a down market. As I mentioned earlier, in my past experience, when the Cats and Dogs rally, you're near the end of the move.
