Active traders have many stocks to choose from this morning, but there are fewer stocks than normal which are trading way up or way down. The top stocks for active traders and day traders so far this Tuesday morning are ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ: ASML), Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: BRCD), DG FastChannel, Inc. (NASDAQ: DGIT), Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENER), L-1 Identity Solutions Inc. (NYSE: ID), Monsanto Co. (NYSE: MON), Origin Agritech Limited (NASDAQ: SEED), Saks Incorporated (NYSE: SKS), and TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ: TASR).

ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ: ASML) is trading lower by almost 3% at $24.70 for its ADRs after overseas markets are weak.

Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: BRCD) is trading up less than 1% at just over $5.00 on some 50,000 shares as investors are hoping that this is the next buyout target after 3PAR.

DG FastChannel, Inc. (NASDAQ: DGIT) is getting a bit of a bounce after yesterday’s major sell-off in the stock. Shares are up over 2% at $$15.44 on over 30,000 shares.

Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENER) is trading up 3% at $4.10 on fairly thin volume after its earnings beat expectations.

L-1 Identity Solutions Inc. (NYSE: ID) is trading down 3.4% at $8.72 on about 16,000 shares after the company announced an amended credit pact that sets the terms IF a buyout comes (it has itself up for sale).

Monsanto Co. (NYSE: MON) is trading down by 1.5% or so around $55.00 on 16,000 shares after it narrowed its earnings guidance.

Origin Agritech Limited (NASDAQ: SEED) is down over 8% at $7.40, although trading volume is thin. Earnings were mixed because it beat earnings expectations but the guidance ahead looks soft.

Saks Incorporated (NYSE: SKS) is soaring on word that private equity firms are interested in paying up to $1.7 billion to acquire the luxury retail department store. Shares are up over 26% at $8.36 on over 500,000 shares.

TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ: TASR) is very thin trading volume so this may be different later in the morning. Shares traded up over 7% at $3.92 on news that it won a judgment and final injunction in its patent infringement against Stinger Systems.
