On Monday, our Under the Radar Movers�newsletter suggested shorting overbought small cap medical technology stock Pulse Biosciences (NASDAQ: PLSE):
��This isn't a tough one to grasp. PLSE ran too far, and too fast, in the middle of this month, and over the course of the past three trading days (counting today) has rolled over in a most troubling way... undramatically. Thursday's upside-down hammer started the reversal, with that day's open and close near the low for the day suggesting a transition from a net-buying environment to a net-selling one. Two days of bearish follow-through, though, has sealed the deal on the rollover effort����
����But, we're not going to get greedy. We'll lock in a decent gain at the first clear hints of bullishness.��
Our Elite Opportunity Pro�newsletter has a detailed discussion about Pulse Biosciences�� technical chart and a potential shorting strategy:

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) : "I'm a buyer. I've respected them for generations. "
Mitek Systems (MITK) : "This one is too speculative for me. I'd buy NVIDIA (NVDA) ."

(NYSE: EVHC) for $5.7 billion in cash, with the total deal value adding up to $9.9 billion including debt. It was one of the largest leveraged buyouts so far in 2018.

Top 10 High Tech Stocks For 2019: CVR Refining, LP(CVRR)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Dan Caplinger]
Finally, shares of CVR Energy fell 9%. The holding company agreed to exchange its stock to investors in related entity CVR Refining (NYSE:CVRR), accepting as many as 37.1 million units at a ratio of 0.6335 shares of CVR Energy for every unit of CVR Refining exchanged. In a release, CVR Energy said that "many CVR Refining unitholders may wish to hold their investment in the form of common stock rather than partnership interests" after recent tax reform legislation. But it's unclear why CVR Energy would make an offer at a 25% premium rather than simply having CVR Refining convert to a corporate entity or use similar steps that wouldn't adversely affect CVR Energy shareholders for the benefit of CVR Refining unitholders. CVR Refining finished the session 8% higher.

Monday was a positive day on Wall Street, as major benchmarks jumped following an uneventful weekend, tapering their gains as the session came to a close. Some had feared that China might retaliate once again after the U.S. issued a second round of tariffs against the nation with the world's second-largest economy, but the expected fireworks didn't come, putting market participants more at ease. The beginning of earnings season in the next week will also distract investors from geopolitical issues, perhaps allowing indexes to climb further. Yet some individual stocks had difficulties that sent their shares lower. Yandex (NASDAQ:YNDX), Menlo Therapeutics (NASDAQ:MNLO), and MGIC Investment (NYSE:MTG) were among the worst performers on the day. Here's why they did so poorly.
