Affymax, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFFY) has a lot of fundamental and technical factors suggesting it is ready to move to much higher levels. The stock opened flat at $6.61 but it exploded to the upside in the afternoon and closed at the high. The fact that the stock was up in a down market, confirms to us, that there are buyers in AFFY. The volume was also good. Looking at the technical chart, the stock broke out of a small consolidation range that was set between the $6.50 and the $6.9 level. I'll be watching the stock tomorrow for a continuation of this breakout. A possible test of last month high at $7.75 is very likely. The short term trend is still bullish with stock trading above 20 day and 50 day moving averages with MACD on top of signal line and %K line on top of %D line. Volume has been rising with prices and the on-balance volume is also moving higher. The stock has been experiencing strong support at this levels, thus representing confidence and an increased potential to experience an appreciation in market value. On the fundamentals side, the company is debt free and has $4.14 in cash per share. AFFY could be on the verge of making a strong move to the upside...so keep watching the stock.


Borders Group, Inc. (NYSE:BGP) is trading higher after hours, on reports that the company is in discussions with restructuring advisers about how to rework its debt-heavy balance sheet. I'm expecting it to gap up tomorrow morning.


Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL) broke out today above a major resistance point. Short-term technical indicators are improving and the MACD on the daily chart recently produced a new buy signal. If the stock can break today’s high of $20.95, we should see a strong follow through move. TOL will move very quickly, so keep a very close eye on the stock.
