I'm assuming you say "parabolic" because it was up huge today...correct me if I'm wrong. If not, then remember that in order to be parabolic you usually want to see 3-4 days of action like this...a stock not really gapping much but running for 3-4 days and gaining 30-40-50% or more. This is just a big old gap and isn't really the same setup, so it will be played differently. IMO there was no good setup in CPRX today. I watched it all day and never saw a good entry.
