  • Trade Review: HOC

    Before posting my review of the HOC trade, I’d like to answer a question posed to me after the latest “today’s trades” post. The question: You seem to hold on to positions for only a few days even though it may seem as though the position could move higher. why…

  • Today’s Trades and A Question About how I Spotted PDE

    In reference to the PDE setup, Rahul asked “Indeed a good trade. Could you tell how it came on your radar.” Sure Rahul, Two weekends ago, I performed a sector screen, as I do every weekend. Energy was one of the stronger sectors that I identified, but I felt that…

  • PDE Trade: A Classic Pullback From Breakout Setup

    I traded a classic setup today, the good old pullback to support after a breakout. The elements that lead to entry include: 1. Price breaks out over an established resistance level. 2. Volume picks up on the way up, showing increased accumulation. 3. The stock pulls back to the old…

  • Anatomy of a Possible Breakout Chart: EWZ

    Based on the annotations to this chart of EWZ, I would be a buyer on a high volume break of $50, or a low volume pullback to $$47. The key to this chart is not only the support and resistance levels, but the pickup in volume. This indicates institutional interest.…

  • Amazing Chart: SBGI

    I’ve been holding SBGI for about a week now. My original post was more focused on recent price action. However, if we back the chart up to the last 6 months, we will see one of the most beautiful looking charts one could ever hope to find. The stock started…

  • Today’s Trade: TZOO

    Boy, I wish I would have held on to SMSI a little longer. Hindsight’s twenty-twenty, but maybe I violated my “micro-managing” rule that I just posted yesterday. Still, it did make a nice profit, so I’ll try to let it go. The stock might become attractive again on a pullback…

  • Patience, Trading and Profitability

    I stumbled across this article on patience and trading via Trader Mike’s links. Although it may seem like basic stuff, it speaks about an issue that has been one of the toughest for me to master. The basic message is you must be patient with your entry points and give…

  • Sector Spotlight: Energy – Part 1

    Energy stocks having been on fire. While it’s too early to tell, I suspect we may be in the midst of resuming a multi-year energy bull market. I certainly don’t want to miss the boat if this is true, so I skipped my usual Saturday nap (after playing tennis or…

  • Chart: HAL

    HAL (Halliburton Co.) wiped out a month’s worth of gains on an insane amount of volume. However, it did not knock out any major resistance points and handles the 50 day MA quite well. Take a look at the tail the stock printed as the stock briefly dipped below the…
