The Dow is higher this morning, as it makes a run at a second straight positive session. Among the equities in focus are drugmaker ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:ACAD), automaker Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), and mobile advertiser Millennial Media, Inc. (NYSE:MM).

  1. ACAD is 10.4% higher at $42.01, after the pharmaceutical firm submitted a new drug application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for NUPLAZID -- a treatment for psychosis associated with Parkinson's. According to newly minted CEO Steve Davis, NUPLAZID "holds promise for patients with Parkinson's disease psychosis who currently have no FDA-approved treatment options." ACAD has now advanced roughly 32.5% in 2015, and is trading above its 10-week trendline for the first time since late July. Despite this performance, short interest is high, with 17% of the equity's float sold short. It would take roughly 8.5 days to exhaust this surplus of shorted shares, at ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s average pace of trading, so we could see the shares enjoy a short-covering rally.

How to collect 1 dividend check every day for LIFE

Did you know you could collect 1 dividend check every day the market is open? You could also do it starting with just $605! For me, I'm collecting 70 dividend checks every quarter…which averages around 1.1 dividend checks every business day. There's no trading behind this... no penny stocks or high-risk investments. All you do is buy and hold and you're set. There's no set up required either. If you start buying the dividend stocks I show you today... you could collect 1 dividend per day starting as early as this week. Click here for all the details.
