ECL (Ecolab--$30.67; 0; optionable): Cleaning products for fast food, service industries
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/e/ecl.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Nice handle forming to the 10 week base sporting solid 3 to 1 accumulation setting up the breakout. Money flow is solid as well; buyers moving in and setting the foundation for a breakout. Looks ready to start a new run, but needs to provide the volume on the breakout.

PXD (Pioneer Natural Res.--$32.02; -0.31; optionable): Oil and gas
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/p/pxd.html
STATUS: Put. An oil and gas company that is not doing well. PXED peaked in July and rolled over, falling to the 200 day SMA (32.50). it bounced, but had no volume. It gapped back down to the 200 day a week ago and has slid along that level until Monday. Volume surged and it fell below the 200 day. Looks ready to continue the plunge with money flow diving lower and leading the way down. Looking for a nice 41%ish gain.
