  • Sell in May, But Don't Go Away

    By Declan Fallon - May 8, 2013 | Tickers: AUXL, KKD, MDSO, THC, TSO, TFM

    The most recent high for the S&P qualified the market under a 'sell' criteria for my Investing Strategy. The last time this happened was in March-April 2012, when the index went on to shed nearly 11% from peak-to-trough by the time the market bottomed in June 2012.

I had suggested some covered call opportunities on Feb. 1 around Tesoro Corporation (NYSE: TSO), Krispy more »

    By Dana Blankenhorn - February 28, 2013 | Tickers: MDRX, CERN, MCK, MDSO, QSII | Editor's Choice

  • Medidata: Software-as-a-Profit Provider

    By Declan Fallon - August 10, 2012 | Tickers: BIOC, MDSO, MRGE

    Medidata Solutions (NASDAQ: MDSO) is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider to enable life science companies design and manage clinical trials. The stock IPO'd in 2009 at $14 a share and a brief rally in 2010 was quickly snuffed out before a second rally took hold mid-2011.  This rally took out its 52-week high and carried through to today.  In the early phase of the rally, there was a high volume more »
