Standout Stocks

My Stock of the Day is Atheros Comm. (ATHR)

The stock is breaking out to a new 9-month high today on surging volume. Other than a brief mention in Barron's over the weekend, there is little news to account for the rise.


It looks mostly like a technical breakout. But given the strong volume, and the fact that the stock is still below its 52-week high, I think the move still has some legs.


The ISEE is still running above 200. I went back and looked, and the last time we saw a close above 200 was 8/31/06. So its been a while.
