April 27th - HWAY MATR NKTR

Cramers first pick was HWAY Healthways Inc.

Closing Price: $47.50
After Hours High: $48.83
Percent Increase at High: 2.8%
Price Level Off Point: $48.65 (Today's high during regular hours: $48.70)
Percent Increase at Level Off Point: 2.4%

He also had a second pick in the first segment on for a diabetes play. It was MATR Matria Healthcare Inc.

Closing Price: $30.34
After Hours High: $31.47
Percent Increase at High: 3.7%
Price Level Off Point: $31.20 (Today's high during regular hours: $31.30)
Percent Increase at Level Off Point: 2.8%

These both trade on the NASDAQ. They were both down today, $1.08 and $1.00 respectively. HWAY saw a high today during regular trading of $48.70, and the stock is currently trading below that after hours. This is another ANGO situation and therefore is a stock I won't short. MATR has also dropped below the daily high of $31.30, so once again the ANGO no short rule applies.

Cramers next pick was NKTR Nektar Therapeutics

Closing Price: $20.69
After Hours High: $23.00
Percent Increase at High: 11.2%
Price Level Off Point: $21.40
Percent Increase at Level Off Point: 3.4%

This one had a ridiculous rise on the Cramer mention to $23!! This one has a 20% short interest in it already. That's pretty high (and might explain the $23) and could cause some panic covering tomorrow morning when people check out their stocks. The stock is already drifting down quite a bit and is only .37 cents off its high for the day during regular trading hours. If this trades lightly in the pre-market tomorrow, I would look for a quick jump at the opening bell followed by a quick decline.

Cramer had on the CEO from UNH UnitedHealth. I don't look to short picks where Cramer has the CEO on and I wouldn't short UNH anyway. It has been down a lot in recent weeks, but is a big volume stock that can go up or down any given day and I don't think Cramer can have a big influence on the share price either up or down.
