These are this morning’s top day trader and active trader alerts seen moving on news and events.
Medivation, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDVN) is down almost 70% and at 52-week lows after its Dimebon failed in its Phase III trials to attack Alzheimer’s. This is very active and will be the most active of all biotechs today with tens of millions of shares likely to trade. At 8:42 AM EST we have seen 6.5 million shares and the last trade was $12.80. The 52-week range was $13.36 to $40.49.

Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVL) is soaring after it got a buyout offer from a private equity group called Elliott and the price was at $5.75 per share in cash. Shares were trading up above $6.00 last night after the news as many are likely betting that the company will say no or ask for more money. This morning at 8:43 AM EST we have seen 20 million shares trade hands versus 4.7 million shares on average. The stock is up 30% at $6.20.

Revenue rose 11% to $18.7 billion vs. estimates of $18.5 billion. The problem is valuation here at almost 20-times forward earnings. At 8:44 AM EST shares are down 3.8% at $59.00 on 475,000 shares and the 52-week trading range is $38.17 to $62.12. Average volume is 3.4 million shares.
