Introducing Sam From MarketMatador.com 2007-05-10 14:17:34 Hello everyone,
I’d like to introduce a friend of mine, Sam from MarketMatador.com. We both started our blogs around the same time, and somehow one of us came across the others (I don’t remember exactly). Sam and I have been giving each other feedback on each other’s blogs and sending emails back and forth, and we’ve decided to pool resources and form a partnership of sorts. Since we’re both Matadors, after all. =) We’ll probably be guest blogging for each other once in awhile in the future. He’s got a great blog, and I definitely suggest you go check it out. But don’t take my word for it! (butterfly in the sky…)
Hey everyone, my name is Sam and I’m from the financial resource site, MarketMatador.com. Mark, from the Wall Street Matador, and I have been busy working on our websites and we recently came to the conclusion that we should collaborate and share the stock picks that we constantly talk about.

DNDN Hammered 2007-05-09 16:09:02 Well, I guess Christmas came a little early this year… for the shorts. I mentioned before that it was quite likely that Dendreon (DNDN) would fall as May 15 came closer, but I certainly didn’t expect today’s premarket ravaging. DNDN opened at $7.20 today, down almost 60% from yesterday’s close of $17.74.
While this isn’t necessarily the end of the line for Dendreon, this certainly strikes a harsh blow to Provenge’s short term prospects. Despite the positive recommendation from an advisory panel that caused DNDN’s skyrocket a few weeks ago, it appears that the FDA is not ready to approve the release of Provenge.
It isn’t clear at the moment what the FDA is requiring but the issuance of an approval letter implies that additional trials will be required. Dendreon is in the process of running more trials, but results aren’t expected until 2010 at the earliest. This is definitely the worst case scenario for
Short interest in DNDN rose f
Google’s Annual Shareholder Meeting 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Google (GOOG) held their annual shareholder meeting a few days ago at the Googleplex.

A Rising Tide Floats All Boats 0000-00-00 00:00:00 In the past two months, you could’ve thrown a dart at the ocean of stock tickers out there and it most likely rose. In the coming week or two, however, the saying “a rising tide floats all boats” may well turn around. If the market indices start breaking down, it won’t matter if you’re picking [...]

DNDN Coverage - Return of the Bull 0000-00-00 00:00:00 When I saw DNDN’s stock price at +60% this morning I nearly did a double take. “It must be an error,” I thought. But it wasn’t, and our Dendreon (DNDN) rollercoaster ride continues with this mornings announcement regarding the controversial FDA decision regarding Provenge.
Earlier this month the FDA stated that it would require “additional information” [...]

TASR’s Comeback 2007-06-20 10:25:28 Taser International’s (TASR) shares have slipped over 75% since early 2005 due to missed expectations and numerous lawsuits over it’s Taser nonlethal weapons technology. However, things are starting to look up in 2007 as Taser recently successfully defended yet another lawsuit, giving it a track record of 45-0 in wins. In addition, the company has added a new feature to the gun called a “Taser Cam” to record the situation, helping provide solid evidence against future lawsuits.
After the string of successful lawsuit defenses, orders have started to pick up again, with new orders coming in from Arizona, Washington, Florida, Hawaii, and Pennsylvania. In addition, international sales have started to pick up, now accounting for approximately 14% of total revenues. An increasing number of European countries are showing substantial interest in Taser’s stun gun.
In upcoming news, TASR is set to show off it’s new XREP projectile sometime next month. In addit

Looks like GOOG is breaking out; it’s not going to jump 5% in a day but I believe Google’s stock price should see a significant run up, until the next earnings report that is. If the earnings report is positive, I see GOOG stock at 600 by the year’s end.
