Sunesis Pharma Continues 10-Bagger Quest (SNSS)

Sunesis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: SNSS) is at it again.  The company more than doubled yesterday to $1.39 on over 35 million based upon Tuesday’s leukemia Phase II drug news presented this week.  Traders and investors are speculating that this could be the next small-cap low priced stock that could be a ten-bagger in biotech.  Shares are up 7% at $1.49 on 840,000 shares as of 8:26 AM EST.  The year high was put in yesterday at $1.84 and even after the price doubled its market cap at yesterday’s close was a mere $47.8 million.

Gartner Inc.

Options/Stock Volume Spike in Affymetrix (AFFX)

Affymetrix Inc. (NASDAQ: AFFX) saw high trading in the stock and in the options today.  The stock was up all day on hopes that it could be the next takeover in the biohealth and life sciences sector, although nothing definitive seems to be on the table.  Call options trading was high with the DEC09 $5 CALLS trading 2,057 contracts versus an open interest of 625 contracts.  What is interesting here on that is the DEC09 options expire in just 9 days now.  The stock closed up 13.5% at $5.38 on an unofficial closing bell basis on 2.79 million shares.  Average volume is 1.08 million shares and the 52-week trading range is $1.78 to $10.06.
