ACOR short

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

It’s in the fuzzy ‘b’ up. Short into the strength here at intraday price resistance $17.72. Risk stop over the high around $18.20. Target a gap fill at $2.41. Reward is 86%. Risk is 2.7%. R/R is 31!

ELN long entry

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

Long $15.60 risking about 4%.
Previous posts yesterday show the charts.
Today’s entry based on a 15min fuzzy C pattern.

RIMM is a bull

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

Stalk the 4 down completion area to target the 5th. Scrolling charts below. Press your Esc key to stop the scrolling.

AAPL and Wallstrip

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

Scrolling charts for AAPL

AAPL was the featured stock for today’s inaugural showing of Wallstrip, a refreshing broadcast concept focused on entertaining and giving a glimpse into the “real world” of publically traded companies. It’s a show where stock culture meets pop culture, and the focus seems to be more on fun than fact, which […]

ELN intraday C

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Further to today’s ELN post, the correctives came for the patient. The C came in at 15.76 and wasn’t supported. The logical play is to buy stop at $15.77 with a stop at $15.00 to target $27.00. Risk 77 cents to make $12.00. r/r is 15.6. Nice.

X

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Impulsive action of late. 71.50 is the band resistance. A close above it will be very bullish and sets up for a great C support long when it corrects. It’ll be double C support. Reaction at the band should be telling.

MTEX short setup

Monday, October 16th, 2006

The previous posted MTEX long setup failed and took the $0.50 or 3% risk. It now sets up short as per below chart. Since doing the chart, price has risen to $16.73, improving the risk to $0.27 or 1.6% to target $5.73 or 34%. R/R is 21. Stop at $17.00.

R/R is […]

MTEX

Monday, October 16th, 2006

MTEX gonna whacked today and presents a nice r/r long setup here with inverted SHS intraday with neckline break. Risk $0.50 to make $9.00. R/R is 18.

DOW intraday

Monday, October 16th, 2006

She’s a gonna go for 12k it seems.

STEC bullish

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Intraday buy at the neckline support 9.22 to target $10.44 or 13% and risk 2% stop at $9.02. r/r is 6.6. Target is price resistance on the monthly to coincide with 5th completion area. Stop is under today’s price support low that coincides with inverted head intraday and a potential high 4 […]

ELN bullish

Monday, October 16th, 2006

ELN…when, when? That’s what many people are wondering. I haven’t commented on it for some time now. It just hasn’t set up well.
Well folks, strap yourselves in because I think it’s just about ready to launch. Intraday it’s getting impulsive, so I’d recommend stalking a fuzzy c and buying […]

DOW intraday patterns

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Bearish at this stage.

STEM bullish

Monday, October 16th, 2006

It’s rallying pretty well today. It’s at some daily band resistance here at $2.53, so I’d be looking for a pullback to buy into; perhaps the green or yellow support lines. But lots of bullish triangle break patterns over multiple time frames and multiple angles for STEM. I’d be targeting $4.50, then […]

SPWR bullish

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Thanks to Rob from the MrMarketisHuge forum for the headsup on this one! Good lookin’ TA with good lookin’ FA. What’s not to like?

Revenue chart produced by Rob can be seen HERE.

KLIC follow up; what if….

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Since THIS bullish post here’s the price action:

What if you’d bought the open after my post? You’d have needed a 5% stop and you’d have had an option to take +6% today. I’d recommend a stop to even now.

STX followup

Monday, October 16th, 2006

In THIS POST back on August 12 I answered a comment by billyjoe concerning STX on the short side. It was a lengthy reply detailing conditions I’d look before shorting. At that time the stock was on the bullish side of a fuzzy C but the general bias seemed short to me. […]

Dow 30 monthly chart patterns and bias

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Of the 30, 19 are bullish patterns, 2 are bearish patterns, and 9 are neutral patterns. So 63% of the Dow 30 are bullish. Only 6.7% are bearish and 30% are neutral.

KNOL bullish

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

No-brainer long. Stop on bias under $9.50. Target $15.00 or 5th impulse completion.

Vector

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

Be sure to consider Vector subscriptions offered at this site!
Please review and consider the performance of Vector lately and weigh up whether it could be of help to your swing trading.
You may not need the intraday signals, but perhaps the weekly and daily signals will be of help to you. […]

ARRS bullish

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

Stalk it long; perhaps after some correctives. A gap support buy at 11.83 is logical. This appears to be a weekly impulse 3 up however. It may not correct that far. 12.25 price support is another good option. Logical targets are an upper channel, 5th impulse completion somewhere near price […]

GOOG bullish

Friday, October 13th, 2006

Easy on the eyes.

IMCL

Friday, October 13th, 2006

Stalk it short. IMCL may seek $14.00, 54% lower than current prices. Daily band support is at $22.70, about 26% lower than current prices. Weekly band support is at $24.50 or roughly 20% lower. Stop on my bias over $34.00. If that happens, then I’d have to rechart it.

ACOR tradeable short

Friday, October 13th, 2006

Pretty good r/r sets up at these levels for a short.

Just fer fun

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

Below is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry midterm. The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic […]

AWX update

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

Further to THIS POST on Sept 11, which highlighted a great r/r long play around $4.80, AWX has rallied from the get go to $6.44 intraday today. That’s a very nice +34% in a month.
Looks like profit-taking territory today.
