FRIDAY CLOSE

(stock #'s in %)

Market down 48/14/6. Coming back up at the end. Volume normal. Oil below $99.

France and Austria lost their trip-A rating and 7 other Euro countries were downgraded. Remember, these are the rating agencies that gave the bundled mortgages triple-A because they were paid to. But we can't set aside the Euro "crisis".

AETI up 2. Back to their highs. Been going straight up for a year and doubled. (Something a little sinister, though, is going on with Yahoo Finance portfolio pages lately and even TD Ameritrade charts. Yahoo is giving wrong numbers for 52-week highs and lows - but not on all stocks. And some strange numbers on other parameters. Even on their new pages. And Ameritrade chart for AETI shows they are at their high, but I remember them higher last month. Kind of disturbing.)

ENER ended up 63. Reached the top 200-day line, came back to under both 200's. Near 5x from bottom for the month so far. AMPD got their valuation back, up 48. NGBF up 41. Who knows. SOPW up 30 on big volume. Over all lines, over triple from mid-Dec. Might want to keep an eye on that. DSTI up 29 on big volume. Breakout from 50-day lines, already close to 200-days. They may have a few more days' run. SPIR up 27. Another break over 50-day lines with volume. LEOM ended up 26, back to highs after hitting bottom 200-day line. But nominal volume - 2.2k shares. WEST up 23. Escape over 50-day lines on big volume. UBRG up 20. They had news release. But with NG glut, where are they going? XSNX up 20. Churning on 50-day lines. ASTI up 15, over 50-day lines. AMLM up 11. QTWW up 9, belated reaction to latest news? OOIL up 8 on their news, flying under 50-day lines.

MGLT down 42, back to 12 cents. Trading range. Despite the news of late. CSKH down 26 on low volume. Do they survive? They have sales. BHWX down 20. Don't know if they can survive either. TSLA down 19. Owee Howee. Back to bottom. I haven't seen news yet. O, an exec departed. Might be buy opportunity. At least short-term. CRGE finished down 17, the rise broken. CGYV down 13. CPWY down 12. XDSL down 12 on high volume. Do they survive? JASO down 9. CSIQ down 8. HSOL down 8, double from bottom already.

PPRW flat at 25 cents. I wonder when they get attention.
