Chelsea Therapeutics Rockets Upward on Clinical Trial Data

blood pressure measurementImage via Wikipedia So yesterday I was cautiously optimistic on Chelsea Therapeutics' 2nd go around with their Phase III Clinical Trial and I will eat crow on that story. I am simply a cautious investor. There is nothing wrong with that. I just want the facts before I jump into an investment.

But if the story had gone the other way, people would have lost a lot of money today upon negative results. I just wasn't so sure it would work this time around. I see now that it will be a good run-up candidate pending FDA approval. The stockcould go down a little after all the hoopla today and when it hits a bottoming price I see it as a buy. I'm not so sure I would be buying it just yet as there will be some selloff after today's news but putting a limit price target on the stock could be a good idea.

Most of the trading was done by Wall Street Investors in Pre-Market hours, so if you bought it this morning you might have lost a small chunk of change. Wall St. has a funny way of controling things before and after trading hits the floor for the everyday investor. They like to control the floor and let the little guy suffer sometimes. I won't go too much into that but you have to be careful when playing with the big boys in this game. Today is a good example if you look at todays stock chart.
