These stocks were taken into the days close, so fills are likely to vary from what is listed here. The software took just under 10 minutes to come up with 8 different stocks. BANR : Nice end of day hammer to confirm support at $33.20-33.35. Point-n-figure chart holds to a $54 price target as part of a November 3rd double top breakout. Run stops on loss of $33.20. CSC : Consolidation breakout. Weekly chart shows strong resistance at $58, but heavy buying volume since late October should be able to consume. Projected base target of $74. Point-n-figure target holds to $78. IMOS : One for watch list given $7.40 resistance could knock the recent bounce off $6.59 lows down a notch or two. An earlier symmetrical triangle on the weekly chart failed to generate a move, as prices passed through its apex (c$7). Short term bulls should look for $9. A break of $5.50 would favor a move down to $3.50. LWSN : Watch weekly chart action. A weekly close over $8 would be significant and favor a follow on ...

Got a little too cutsie on my stop; it is still a good long side play with a 5-10% push likely to occur sooner rather than later. Overhead resistance at $25.10 can't last forever, as quiet demand consumes. A stop around $23.50 would have been more prudent. Still, the 400 share lot closed for a $392 profit. Collective2

Another day of listless trading as markets prepared for their next move. Large caps were again hardest hit; the Dow shedding another 41 points on heavier volume (= technical distribution); the S&P closed right on support of 1,294 and the 20-day MA. Unlike the Dow , the S&P losses occurred on low volume. The tech averages escaped relative unscathed; the NASDAQ traded down a point on light volume as technicals continued to improve; the NASDAQ 100 created a bearish engulfing pattern on light volume (but at overbought slow stochastics, so this needs to be watched), just above near term support. The semiconductor index completed its bounce to the 20-day MA and is back looking at the 200-day MA for future support. The Russell 2000 inched up a couple of points, maintaining its leadership role. The markets remained aligned in bullish mode with small caps leading techs, leading large caps. Tech secondary indicators [ $NASI , $NAA50 and $BPCOMPQ ] powered to new reaction highs wh...

Because of my recent trip, I did not get a stock pick list out for Friday March 24th. I did post the 8 stocks I got from the Trade Ideas scan.

His average return of 5.13% per trade was helped, in large part, by LVLT . The biggest loser was attributed to OCPI , taken from the Trade-Ideas selection. This was the biggest reported loss, to date, for the week-on-week Trade Ideas selection. The Market ETFs closed flat for the week.

Relatively low risk trade depending on which stop you choose to use. Nice test of the prior reaction high as the rally started in 2003 continues. Chief negative is the MACD "sell" trigger; so stops are important. The point-n-figure target of $59.50 is not outside the realms of possibility, but look to resistance at $40, $45 and $50, the latter in particular.
