Collective 2: SBAC out

Image
After the SBAC rally on Tuesday I decided to raise the stop to lock in further profits. Unfortunately the position was stopped out Thursday for a $2,045 gain, on a 500 share lot over a 3 month period. Tuesday's new highs on falling volume is of concern and it will be important to watch volume action on the next pullback. The 50-day MA looks to be a likely place for a test of support as it was in December, from here one will get a better idea on how the next base will take shape. SBAC Collective2

Stock to watch: SCSC. Close to breaking $60.70 resistance as part of a bullish ascending triangle. Major resistance sits at $72 and a test of this price would complete the right-hand-side of a 16-month base. From there a break of $72 would create a projected price of $107.

Nice consolidation triangle looks primed to break upside. Expect volume to pick up on a break of $12.50. Unfortunately there is a band of resistance between $14-15, but a break of this will set up a move to $20. On the downside; ugly financials .

Trade Ideas: Story so far

My current subscription to Trade-Ideas is set to expire soon. The chart below shows a hypothetical return assuming: [1] An equal amount of a $10,000 pot was put into each of the Trade-Ideas picks. [2] The cumulative total is rolled over into the next set of picks again equally divided between the picks. [3] It does not account for commissions or slippage. The x-axis represents each series of Trade-Ideas picks covering a span of 3-months. The average return for this period was 9.6% - not too shabby a return. Compare this to the slight loss (2%) the markets took over this period. The 'Trade-Ideas High' is the maximum return possible assuming all picks were exited at their highs.
