Trade Ideas: ROP
Solid gains in the markets didn't really translate to the Trade Ideas scan. There were too many energy and defensive plays on the real-time scan to suggest good breadth to Tuesday's actions. Traders remain skeptical about jumping into this market with two feet. In terms of frequency, for the scan to generate 8 different stock picks took 1 minute.
The best looking stock on the list was Roper Industries (ROP). A three month channel consolidation was breached to the upside. The 50-day MA looks to be support where before (in July) it was not (although the 200-day MA fit the bill in that case). Stops can be placed on a loss of the 50-day MA. Look for a move to $60, even though the point-n-figure chart shows a downside target of $34 (but no price pattern).
