Sequenom, Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:SQNM)

Shares of SQNM have held up really well in a downward market, if I were one the people who are short a combined 1.5 million shares I would be nervous. It is a biotech company and those stocks are prone to volatile swings so be sure to have an exit strategy in mind if it moves lower. I like the stock above 9.40 with a stop just under 9.00.
