Up stocks and down stocks

Selected stocks up or down 10% or more or up or down 5 points or more. Primarily the list is for generating multi-day long short ideas. Not every stock on this list qualifies, in fact very few qualify as long term buy and sell.

Sometimes a major one day move kicks off a multi-month or multi-year rally.Most of such significant moves are precipitated by a new information about the company in terms of earnings, new products, new management, new industry dynamics, new discovery, new regulation, new news from sector,new overall market trend, new earning cycle, new pricing power, new merger/takeover industry dynamics, etc. New information creates price shocks.The new information in some case is so significant that it fundamentally alters market participants view of the stock or sector.

Episodic pivots can often offer major low risk buy or sell opportunities.

Looks like another good day for growth stocks including some on this list. CBLI and KRSL are up over 15%. KRSL is a good play on the commercial aircraft boom. Anything to do with this sector is on fire including specialized steel and alloys.

Things are flying currently. All things are working as long as you are long. But as of end of day again things like 50% plus in month and 65 day bull bears are moving in to yellow zone.
