The market fell a fractional amount again Wednesday, but erased an early 100 pt drop in the Dow (does anyone besides the media watch that anymore?). APT jumped 17% when they said they are running their plant 24/7 to keep up with demand for face masks and respirators. DSCO jumped 22% after an FDA meeting allows them to go ahead with drug testing (three years of this so far - the FDA games never end as they are owned by big pharma).

Disclosure: Long BCRX, BSDM, CVM, DNDN (sometimes I wonder why I bother - IF a stock goes up, they simply print more shares and clobber current investors so they can give themselves raises - what a SCAM!)
