Stocks showing particularly noteworthy movement:
JOYG: They continue to show superior strength. Today’s earnings release shot them up ~14%.
Revenues up 36% and earnings are increasing: from 89% last quarter to 169% this quarter. And they are completely booked. Meanwhile, they have raised the 2006 outlook to the $1.85~$2.15 range, which tops Wall Street targets of $1.82.
No wonder volume was up 4x today.

MDR also a big mover on strong volume. An interesting note: they were part of a 4 way consortium that just won a deal to support Los Alamos for 7 years. Actually, their subsidiary won – the same one I pointed out as emerging from bankruptcy and adding earnings.

BCSI – I don’t like the low volume. It shows weakness, and there is no earnings for another 8 weeks. We are tightening our stop loss.

JBLU – This is my baby. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I believe that JetBlue is poised for major takeoff (pun intended). The holidays will stuff cash in their piggy bank. After the airline sector fell out of favor over the summer due to gas prices, it looks like some sanity is returning. More interestingly, I wonder what the potential is for JetBlue to fly to Heathrow. I expect more market openings in the near future and JetBlue could either expand into Europe or at least partner with a major EU carrier. After all, they have solidified their hubs in JFK and Logan.

The following stocks hit a 52 week high today
MDR
JLG
JOYG
