DOC

[fous]

Just wanted to say thanks for the pick fous. Your post was the first I had seen of this stock; got in at 3.85, and got trailing stopped out friday around 4.07 since I had to run somewhere. 6% gain is fine with me  . Nice research and thanks again.

Thanks statement00, Glad to have helped you make some money

Im currently still holding at thee moment. The last 2 trading sessions made matching lows at 3.86 along with a bullish hammer candle today. Im hoping for this to act as support. And as for tomorrow DOC is presenting ath ROTH capital partners annual growth stock conference at 8 AM tomorrow morning pacific standard time. Hopefully people listening will like what DOC has presented and drive price action higher.

Hmmmmmm, DOC never presented today at the ROTH capital growth conference and arn't listed on the presenting companies list http://www.rothcp.com/Presenting%20Co%20DP.html I wonder what happend?

Anyways i don't like that they released a PR that they  are going to present at a growth conference and then  don't show up. I'll be looking to sell if this one closes below support at 3.86

DOC: Short Interest UP 9.4% to 1.0M in Feb 2006
Wednesday, February 22, 2006 16:15 ET

According to new short interest data from AMEX, short interest for Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX: DOC) INCREASED 9.4% to 1,014,738 shares for the month ended mid-February, 2006.

SYMBOL           JANUARY        FEBRUARY          CHANGE       %CHANGE  DAYS/COVER
--------   -------------   -------------   -------------  ------------  ----------
DOC              927,561       1,014,738         +87,177        +9.40%           4

Based on DOC's 20-day average daily share volume of 255,210, it would require approximately 4 day(s) of buying to cover this short interest.

Support tested once again at 3.86 today. Im getting ready to pull the trigger the second it breaks the 3.86 support level.(if it breaks )

stopped out on Friday @ 3.86$

DOC yet again bounces off of support today at 3.86 but ended up rallying off of it today to breakout of the pennent though on low volume so there isn't much force involved in this breakout. I'll be interested to see how the rest of the week pans out.

Still holding with the same plan, Sell on a close below 3.86.

New Kind of Cattle Branding:
An ID Number
By ILAN BRAT
March 1, 2006; Page B1

In a new twist on cattle branding, U.S. livestock may now get individual identification numbers.

Today in Washington, a nonprofit industry group plans to launch a program that aims to assign each cow, bison and other livestock its own 15-digit number and track their movements in a national database. Animals would be tagged, perhaps in the ear with a bar code or a radio-frequency chip. Another alternative: a chip could be implanted beneath the animal's skin.

The goal is to make it easier for animal health officials to track the source of any outbreak of mad-cow or other animal disease -- and limit its scope. The U.S. is far behind Canada and European Union countries in sophisticated methods to track livestock.

Under the plan, which is voluntary, every time an animal is sold, its number and buyer is registered in the database to help pinpoint its movements. In the event of a disease outbreak, this information could help locate previous owners of the infected animal and other animals it possibly had contact with. Officials could then impose quarantines or other restrictions.

Lack of such a system hampered U.S. investigators following the first U.S. case of mad-cow disease in 2003. They found only 27 of the 80 cows reared with an infected holstein on an Alberta, Canada, dairy farm.

U.S. ranchers have long resisted an ID tracking program partly because they fear they may be liable for a food-safety problem. But McDonald's Corp. and other large beef customers have been pushing for it. Federal regulators also have been prodding the industry for such a system. The lack of one has made foreign trading partners nervous. Japan, once the country's largest export beef market, has a ban on U.S. beef imports.

To track the nation's cattle, cows would be tagged with an ID number, perhaps in the ear.

The new system, with an estimated start-up cost of $2.5 million to $3 million, is part of a pilot effort that has been tracking about 300,000 animals in the Southeast and Northwest. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will issue the codes and the U.S. Animal Identification Organization, a nonprofit industry group, will administer the database.

Pigs, chickens and other poultry could be part of the program, and are likely to be identified by group lot or coop. They, like cattle, aren't completely anonymous now: livestock owners have methods of identifying their animals, whether it's branding cattle, an ear tattoo for swine or a coop number for poultry.

So far, industry response to an ID system has been tepid. In 2004, the USDA, along with state veterinary offices, started a voluntary program for livestock producers and suppliers to register the location of their animals. Of about two million such locations in the country, including feedlots and auction houses, only about 200,000 have registered, the USDA says.

Neil Hammerschmidt, the USDA's national identification system coordinator, says customers -- from processors to consumers -- are likely to demand to know where the meat comes from. "Producers are recognizing that it's to their benefit in the long run to help protect the health of the national herd," says Rick Stott, chairman of the Northwest Pilot Project, which is part of the pilot program.

Back in play? i sold this on the break of 3.86 support. Price action is has made a solid rebound on heavy volume. Though todays candle represents some confusion in the marke. Prob safe to see what happens tomorrow.

Now that the world knows about DOC and how its technology can apply to both Bird Flu and Mad Cow, it'll be interesting to see if it'll start getting attention from the big boys.  Here's the story:

If I remember correctly, NVAX started its hype with CNBC as a catalyst.  This is the perfect play for both bird flu and mad cow.  I don't see a better way to track and contain outbreak of diseases such as these.
