Two Stocks That Are Strong Today: A Rarity It Seems (DLTR, RDWR)

In a sea of red, it's hard to find some green. Two stocks that are being highlighted here today are of particular interest for investors, but for very different reasons. The first stock being mentioned is Dollar Tree, Inc. (Nasdaq:
DLTR
RDWR
), which is up 70 cents today to trade at $24.22. Radware is seeing strong volume into the stock as well, having traded 226,000 shares. The daily volume on Radware is just over 120,000. A much smaller company than Dollar Tree, with a market cap of less than $500 million, Radware competes with such heavy hitters as Cisco (NASDAQ:
CSCO
), Citrix (NYSE CTXS) and F5 Networks (NASDAQ:
FFIV
). Radware is on trader's radars lately due to the acquisitions being seen in the tech sector lately. Radware Ltd. provides application delivery and network security solutions to banks, insurance companies, manufacturing and retail, government agencies, media companies, and service providers worldwide. It is very possible that with historic levels of cash on company balance sheets, someone like a Dell (NASDAQ:
DELL
) or a Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:
HPQ
) might acquire Radware at a substantial premium. These are two stocks to keep an eye on. Stocks that perform well in down markets, tend to outperform in up markets. Something definitely worth keeping an eye on.
