Dummy Trade of the Day - athenahealth, Inc (Public, NASDAQ:ATHN)

I traded ATHN on Friday and mentioned in my post that this was a potential BO candidate. Hope you guys added it to your WL.

Despite market weakness, ATHN was a momentum continuation play as it took out its daily pivot high and quickly rallied up to R2, paused briefly, before extending further. Midday it retraced 38% of the move from the ORL to the morning swing high - 38% is a normal retracement and often sets ups a second leg.

Jamie,

Very nice follow up trade on ATHN.

WFMI setup with a consol just under a PP (49.50).

Thanks Jim,

Great catch with WFMI. It passed me by - two opps to get long on that one as well.
