Looking for a couple of long (bullish) trading ideas on a day when the market is dragging pretty much everything lower? There are two names that fit the bill...CombiMatrix Corp.

Meanwhile, BAA is something worth going ahead and taking a swing on now, not despite the market's tumble, but because of it.

With the weekend just around the corner - and with folks looking to close the books on what's been a miserable week - most traders have already closed shop and gone home. Big mistake. Some of the best trades I've ever found were uncovered when nobody else cared, or was interested. Enter Banro Corporation (NYSEMKT:BAA)... a name I stumbled cross today when few other were even looking. I think BAA could be an explosive bullish mover over the course of the next few weeks. Though I don't want to get married to it, I sure wouldn't mind dating it for a while.
