UK Opens National Video Game Archive

BBC News reports that the UK is acknowledging video games as a "key component of modern culture" by opening the National Videogame Archive inside the National Media Museum. "'The National Videogame Archive is an important resource for preserving elements of our national cultural heritage,' said Dr Newman. 'It's not just about cartridges and consoles, it's also about video game culture, the ways in which people actually play them. Unlike film and music, it's very difficult to walk into a retail store and walk out with a bunch of games from the 1970's,' said Dr Newman. He feels that games should be archived in the same way that music, books and film are preserved, as we often use them as markers in our culture and history." There's a similar archive at the University of Texas at Austin.

Leading Stocks - Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc, FLIR Systems Inc, Cephalon Inc, Xilinx, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd

Given everything that is going on in the market, I thought it might be interesting to see what stocks are leading this year. As a starting point, I pulled the component stocks for the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) and ran them through a query that gave me the year-to-date returns and a few key pieces of sentiment data. The list below is sorted to show some of the top performing stocks. The names that stood out to me include, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc (VRTX), FLIR Systems, Inc. (FLIR), Cephalon, Inc. (CEPH), Xilinx, Inc. (XLNX), and Fastenal Company (FAST). As the spreadsheet points out, these stocks all carry a rather heavy level of short interest. A high level of short interest can lead to the potential for a short squeeze.
