Trade Ideas: IRM

The rally marches on - although on a percentage basis there was little change to previous days gains, from the point of buying individual stocks there was a more substantial increase; the Trade Ideas scan took just 1 minute to come up with 8 stocks - better than previous days.

The only stock to dominate the buying was W.R. Berkley (BER) at 43 appearances over the course of the day. But beyond that, there wasn't much pushing above 20 appearances. I have gone for Iron Mountain (IRM) which came in at the 20 appearance mark.

The stock has come off a small bullish flag, closing Thursday at a new reaction high. Resistance remains a factor at $43.62, but the new up swing is helped by the early October "Golden Cross" between the 50-day and 200-day MAs. Stops can go on a loss of $41 (although my chart shows a stop for $40 support - either one will do depending on your risk threshold). October's action has the look of a 'handle', part of an 8-month base (see a weekly chart). The projected target for this base is around $65.
