I will be picking up DOC - Digital Angel and ADSX - Applied Digital Solutions early next week.

There is a small mania developing after the U.S senate urges the DOA to use specifically DOC's RFID technology.  ADSX is moving as well on high volume.  This may be a mania just like Bird-Flue, nanotech, stem-cell, etc...

U.S. Senate Urges Department of Agriculture to Consider Digital Angel RFID Technology in National Animal Identification Program
Wednesday November 30, 9:25 am ET 
Senate Version of 2006 Agriculture Appropriations Bill Makes Specific Reference to Digital Angel Technology and Allocates $33.3 Million for Projects Related to National Animal ID Program


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking and condition monitoring of high-value assets, announced today that the U.S. Congress has set aside $33.3 million for projects related to the national animal identification program. The Senate version of the Bill urges the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to consider Digital Angel's RFID technology in developing that program.

Language in the Senate version of the recently approved FY2006 Agriculture Appropriations Bill noted that Digital Angel RFID technology has already proven its value to the federal government during the Company's 15-year relationship with the U.S. Department of Energy and its work in the salmon fishing industry. Digital Angel provides the government with electronic tags and scanners to track salmon in fisheries throughout the Northwest.

Since the December 2003 incident of Mad Cow Disease (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) in the state of Washington, the USDA has initiated the development of a national animal identification program for cattle, with a target completion date of 2008-2009.

"Digital Angel has a proud history of leadership in animal identification, specifically related to cattle, pigs and other livestock, as well as fish and poultry, and our inclusion in the senate version of this bill shows that the U.S. Senate has recognized that," said Digital Angel CEO Kevin McGrath. "Significant amounts of money have been spent for several years in pilot programs to understand what technologies will work in animal identification programs. We believe the information that has been gathered is now advanced enough that a significant portion of the money appropriated this year should be spent on the implementation of a national ID program and we hope the USDA, through its Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), agrees."

Digital Angel's proprietary and comprehensive RFID traceability system includes electronic tags and scanners as well as a database system that can provide for the registration, tracking and source verification for the animals tagged in the national identification program. The Company expects to sell more than 3 million electronic RFID tags in the U.S. this year.

Digital Angel Corporation to Introduce Its Proprietary Bio-Thermo(TM) (Temperature-Sensing) Implantable RFID Microchip and Identity System for Use in Avian Flu Applications
Monday December 5, 9:25 am ET 
Early Detection of Increased Temperature May Prove Pivotal to Identification and Control of Avian Flu Outbreaks


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets, announced today that it will introduce its patented Bio-Thermo(TM) (temperature-sensing) implantable RFID microchip and related identity system to international poultry/bird markets with the initial geographic emphasis in Asia. The comprehensive identity system includes the implantable Bio-Thermo microchip and related identity and temperature-sensing scanners that allow early identification of temperature increases in individual birds which may permit rapid identification and control of an outbreak of bird flu or other avian diseases.

Until now the Company has focused its implantable RFID temperature sensing system on the companion pet and equine marketplace. The system is in testing phases for other livestock such as cattle and swine. "As disease and bio-terrorism increasingly threaten the global food chain and the health of humans and livestock, the Company has targeted new applications in this area," said Kevin McGrath, President and CEO of Digital Angel. He also noted that the Company's identity microchips have already been used in avian identification applications.

"Just as we made our identification products available to Gulf Coast communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we believe that our proprietary technology should be made available to threatened countries and researchers working to control the spread of avian flu," said McGrath. "We have had 200,000 bio-thermo chips manufactured for this and companion pet applications and we are immediately prepared to work with research institutions and government entities on any further research necessary to control avian flu."

"Our decision to target the poultry markets is an extension of the success we've had in implantable microchips in Asia and elsewhere. Clearly we have sold more implantable microchips for animals than anyone in the world," McGrath said. "As the only provider of temperature sensing RFID microchips in the world for livestock, the detection of elevated temperatures in avian populations represents a new yet natural application of our technology. Since early detection of temperature increases could be important to identifying and controlling bird flu outbreaks, our Bio-Thermo identity system may prove instrumental in dealing with the disease in a cost effective manner within the confines of a poultry farm."

McGrath said Leo Ortenblad, Managing Director of Digital Angel's International Animal Applications sales activities, will lead the initiative.

"Leo is an eight year veteran of Digital Angel and, because he has broad experience in Asia and other international markets, he is ideally suited to leading this effort," McGrath said.

Very good news out this morming for DOC.  It may break through the 200 day avg, with high volume, we'll see.  Please note that the $3.00 resistance mark was tested 2 times, before it broke through and $3.00 become support.

Digital Angel Corporation Receives Order for 1.1 Million Visual Identification Tags From Smithfield Foods in Poland
Thursday December 15, 7:25 am ET 
First Shipments of Tags to World's Largest Processor of Pig Products Has Begun

SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets, announced today that it has received a purchase order from Smithfield Foods Inc., the world's largest pork producer, for 1.1 million visual ear identification tags for Smithfield's swine operations in Poland. The first shipments of the visual tags to Smithfield began this month and the remainder will be shipped on a monthly basis.


The order calls for Digital Angel's Denmark-based subsidiary, Daploma International, to deliver the tags to the various farms Smithfield owns and operates throughout Poland. Digital Angel is working with PPA POLNET, Poland's largest tag distributor, on the Smithfield account.

European Union regulations require that all pigs, cattle and livestock throughout Europe, including Poland, be tagged for identification and traceability purposes. While the requirements allow tattooing of pigs, Smithfield has chosen to use visual tags to insure better traceability.

"This is a significant order from Smithfield and obviously a very important milestone for Digital Angel," said Digital Angel CEO Kevin McGrath. "Smithfield is a respected and innovative leader in meat processing throughout the world and is known for the quality of their products. We are proud they have chosen us as a supplier to help them in that effort. We look forward to working closely with them and demonstrating our ability to provide the best in identification and traceability services."

McGrath added that the order from Smithfield demonstrates the value of Digital Angel's recent purchase of Daploma and the importance of the Company's global reach.

"Livestock tagging and tracking is a global business and we are working diligently to capture significant portions of the market all over the world," McGrath said. "There is no question that Eastern Europe, in addition to North and South America, is an important market and we believe this new relationship with Smithfield bodes well for our future in that part of the world."

DOC: Short Interest UP 1.0% to 788.3K in Dec 2005
Wednesday, December 21, 2005 16:15 ET

According to new short interest data from AMEX, short interest for Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX: DOC) INCREASED 1.0% to 788,279 shares for the month ended mid-December, 2005.

SYMBOL          NOVEMBER        DECEMBER          CHANGE       %CHANGE  DAYS/COVER
--------   -------------   -------------   -------------  ------------  ----------
DOC              780,591         788,279          +7,688        +0.98%           3

Based on DOC's 20-day average daily share volume of 353,940, it would require approximately 3 day(s) of buying to cover this short interest.

chart looks interesting:

[traderjbr]

This one is perking up again.Volume was heavy, keep an eye on this one today..

[traderjbr]

Holding firm on the open,looks likely to break the 200dma with the macd crossed over.

[Lucas Scott]

That 200 dma is like Krytonite to DOC. I had a position from three weeks ago at 3.13 that I sold today at 3.42.  I had a 3.60 limit order target that just missed the last couple days when it only got as high at 3.55. I think it might roll over and head back down toward $3, and the upside is limited by resistance at the 200 dma and in the 3.60's as seen in the chart below. Not a great risk/reward profile in the short-term so I sold.

[poorman1]

Cramer mentioned this today on his radio show and the stock reacted immediately when he said he liked it a lot.  However, he can't recommend it because of the small size.  The street.com staffers will review it for possible inclusion in thestreet.com's stocks under $10

[traderjbr]

Got the close over the 200 dma on strong volume.If it can break thru 3.65 area then its free on up to 4.To see the big picture pull up a 3yr chart and look at the pattern back on Oct. 04,the pattern is strickingly similar to the one currently.Also the 50dma was coming up to meet the 200dma,just like it is today.Also back in 04 the stock was coming out of a 1yr downtrend as is today.It remains to b seen whether the pattern repeats itself but so far its looking that way.
