CIEN Close $4.41 High $4.41 Leveled at $4.40 Short Interest: 8.1%

Cramer has mentioned several of these stocks since I have been following his picks closely. No huge numbers after hours so no clear winner on which might be the best short candidates. I know with restrictions with some brokers some people won't be able to short some of these because they are too cheap (myself included for the time being). If the late turnaround today leads us into a positive market tomorrow a few of these picks might get a good opening bell price pop that could be short worthy. Not enough price increase to cause any short covering price spikes either I don't think.

Cramer also had 4 Map/GPS plays and they were:

GRMN Garmin Ltd.
TRMB Trimble Navigation Ltd.
NVT NAVTEQ Corp.
MAPS Mapinfo Corp.

GRMN Close $91.46 Too Expensive
TRMB Close $41.95 No Trades After Hours
NVT Close $38.92 Last Trade at $39.94
MAPS Close $13.48 No Trades After Hours

So really NVT is the only one with any price change, but on very light volume (250 shares). It is up 2.7%. NVT is an ANGO no-short situation since the daily high before the show was $40.40 and we are trading well below that now. I believe in the rule and have often thought to go against it but everytime it works it reminds me to never bet against it, so I'm not about to start. MAPS, being the cheapest pick, might get some attention tomorrow so I will watch for the 9:30 spike and drop, but would need to see a large spike close to $14.
