Caveman “Gets” The Flu For You

Be sure to check out The Caveman Forecaster’s latest “Flu-cast” .   In this episode, he’s got enough “news-to-market” analysis in there to make Cronkite sweat, and enough statistical-analytical charting and graphing to get Woody and Cuervo to momentarily stop choking emus and take a gander.

For you degenerate OTB traders looking for an edge, he also put together his own “Swine Flu Index” consisting of  the stocks NVAX, PURE, BCRX, AVII, GNBT, and SVA, which are all highly correlated.     Since this thing seems to be at least temporarily dying down, that might be a decent short play right now.   Enjoy.

    I have given up shorting low floaters… and why do it when there are much better “normal” candidates in this market?

    That said, BCRX is sitting in a pretty channel there…

    Now that’s not something that can be choked unless you mean the square sine oscillator.

    Still have some WNR… that’s a nice squeeze play.

    Scum, I think I will take this action in X as an excuse to get rid of that rickety RTI I bot a bit ago.

    You may have missed Woody’s funny posts about choking emu’s… but this is what I’m talking about.

    Yipes – I’m strangely amused and horrified by that story – Jake’s picture didn’t help a bit either.

    Great emu story, Wood. That and the comments like these have me laughing out loud –

    ahahaha, that emu story brings back some good memories.
    A truly first class post, with wonderful pacing & imagery.

    And even the one who’s name shall not be spoken (rhymes with a motorcycle) makes an appearance in the comments…not to mention that other guy who is all about gayness and prehistoric animals. I wonder if his blog is still pink?
