crowded short position(27%). Reported EPS of .04 street expected .01 Offers products and services to purify water as well as other liquids and air. Recently passed favorable antidumping legislation as well as a court settlment. A good amount of overseas (china) exposure (currency translation benefits). I believe this is the front end of a huge run. This is a great water and antipollution play. I would say this stock may need to consolidate for a little while its had a hell of a run.

20% short. These guys have inhalable insulin carrier in Phase 3 studies. Implied volitilty is way up their. Huge amount of call buying in early june. I made a lot on the calls in early june but expect a huge move in the stock if they announce good results or an update on the study.

This is an online search and advertisment/marketing company. They should have awsome growth-PEG of 1. 35% short. Chart looks really good. I think it had some really big option volume and implied vol. a few days ago. I think it could be taken out by a yahoo or google. If that never happens it should largely benefit from 2008 election spending.

These guys make small scale fuel cells for small electronics. 38% short interest. Looks like firm support under the stock in the $12 range. The rise in the implied volitility is what caught my eye. I wouldn't jump into a directional bet but I would keep my eye on it for a decisive move in either direction.
