Today’s Entry: GS
Today’s Entry: STP
I entered STP today on weakness. The stock has shown strong strength in relation to the market, and shows a strong volulme pattern on the recent move up. My target is the September high.

The FXI Answer
I left my analysis of FXI open ended in the last post and a few of you seem to think I was bearish!The pattern is in fact quite bullish, and points to a bottom formation. Compare the current volume pattern to that during the top and bear run. For the first time, positive volume exceeds... Continue Reading →
