    Energy Conversion
  • $10.57
  • +0.38%
  • $10.49

Najarian briefly noted heavy call activity in Energy Conversion Devices(ENER), which was up nearly 8% today. Najarian said he didn't know why it was up, although he said it might have to do with the "monster" short interest and the company's CEO pulling out unexpectedly from a scheduled conference.
