AAPL 04/09 Cup hdl 169.73 +0.79 153.75 174.55 35M 50M 163.74
Current. Gapped higher posting a modest gain. Calm move to end the week after a nice response to earnings on Thursday. At some resistance at 170 but looking excellent.

AAPL 03/27 Cup 169.73 +0.79 143.93 159.95 35M 50M 163.74
Current.

AAPL 03/19 Cup 169.73 +0.79 132.43 149.95 35M 60M 163.74
Current.

AKS 03/03 Test BO 67.24 +3.24 55.11 61.38 3.2M 4.5M 66.32
Current. Pulled back on the week to the 18 day EMA and then bounced sharply Friday on lower but still above average volume.

AKS 02/19 DB hdl 67.24 +3.24 49.55 58.95 3.2M 4M 66.32
Current.

AMT 04/19 DB hdl 43.58 +0.11 42.61 48.95 3.6M 6M 41.11
Current. Great week for the tower maker, posting 4 out of 5 upside sessions. Ended the week with a hold of the gains.

AMX 04/05 PreAnn 56.28 -8.86 64.25 74.95 57M 10M 60.31
Buy Not Issued. Dropping as it is dropping.

AMZN 04/19 Rev HS 80.86 +3.17 80.88 94.95 9.5M 12M 77.72
Current. Bounced right back from its Thursday drop on earnings. Closed at the 200 day SMA (81) on lower, average volume. Key move this week.

ANR 04/04 DB hdl 51.00 +2.06 47.18 55.95 2M 4.6M 49.44
Current. Low volume pullback on the week that held the 18 day EMA on the low and then bounced Friday. Nice point move but no volume to push it.

APC 04/09 Asc Bse 68.38 +1.62 67.32 77.55 3.6M 7M 67.45
Current. Natural gas escaped Wednesday and Thursday, but it held the 18 day EMA and bounced on lower trade (common occurrence for many energy stocks).

ARD 04/15 Asc Tri 47.04 +2.40 46.90 55.45 430K 850K 44.15
Current. Held the 10 day EMA in a shallower dip, then bounced nicely to a new closing high Friday.

ASIA 04/01 Rev HS 12.73 -0.08 12.27 15.50 487K 500K 12.95
Current. Tested the 18 day EMA early in the week and shot back up Thursday on strong trade, resting a bit Friday. Good recovery but needs to break over 13 and hold it on the close.

BBG 04/15 Cup hdl 52.88 +0.41 51.18 58.95 616K 1M 48.55
Buy Not Issued. Up early in the week and then a test of the 10 day EMA late in the week, showing a tight doji over that near support Friday on rising trade. A bounce from here on volume is an entry point.

BG 04/21 Test BO 123.28 +2.72 122.35 135.65 2.5M 3.5M 117.83
Current. Announced earnings to a wild session Thursday, then continued higher Friday.

BGC 04/16 DB hdl 71.70 +1.39 71.88 82.95 934K 1.5M 66.85
Buy Not Issued. Thought about entering Friday with another test of the 10 day EMA and a rebound. If it continues higher it is a buy.

BHP 04/12 PreAnn 84.50 +1.98 79.59 93.95 2.8M 7.5M 82.88
Current. Gapped lower with most metals Thursday and then rebounded off the 10 day EMA Friday. Good recovery but no volume. Holding its trend, however, and continuing its bouncing up and down along that support.

BIDU 04/12 Cup hdl 363.69 +21.69 289.55 339.00 9.6M 10M 354.88
Earnings were good and it gapped higher on very strong trade. Next resistance at 375.

BRCM 04/19 Trnd Rv 27.99 +0.25 23.82 28.45 14M 20M 26.38
Current. Great week for this recovering integrated circuit maker. Took some gain on the earnings gap higher. Showed a doji just below the 200 day SMA (28.27) Friday. If it stalls here it may try to fill the gap so we should book some gain if it cannot hold a move through the 200 day on the next attempt.

BTU 04/08 Dbl btm 64.01 +1.61 61.28 69.95 5.1M 8.5M 66.77
Current. Touch finish to the week, gapping lower Thursday. Managed to hold the 18 day EMA and bounce Friday but on lower trade. If cannot put past 65 early in the week we close it.

BUCY 04/14 Asc Bse 127.83 +11.20 116.05 133.95 2.3M 1.5M 124.32
Current. Yes Bucyrus sold Thursday on strong volume, but it exploded higher Friday on even stronger trade. Beautiful.

BZP 04/16 Test 50 20.10 +0.21 20.16 24.95 525K 1M 19.38
Current. Started higher early in the week but could not keep up the mo. It did not sell off as did many energy stocks, however, so we anticipate BZP was just riding out the rough spot and will resume the move this week.

CAT 04/24 Test BO 82.25 +0.43 82.57 94.95 4.1M 7.5M 79.77
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher, tested then recovered. No volume so we held off, but if it continues higher this week it is another buy.

CAT 03/18 Rev HS 82.25 +0.43 79.83 89.95 4.1M 11M 83.21
Current.

CCK 04/24 Test BO 27.51 +0.23 27.74 33.32 1.1M 2.2M 26.18
Buy Not Hit. Gapped higher on below average volume. Still solid and if more trade comes in this week as it moves up it is a go.

CE 04/17 DB hdl 45.31 +1.29 43.59 49.95 1M 2M 43.69
Current. Nice end to the week, rallying off the Thursday selloff then reversal. Just going to let this puppy run.

CELG 04/16 Cup hdl 63.11 -0.57 65.08 74.85 2.3M 7M 62.05
Buy Not Issued. Testing the 18 day EMA to end the week, unable to get things going after a promising prior week.

CELG 03/24 Flat 63.11 -0.57 61.26 73.55 2.3M 6M 62.04
Current.

CHL 04/12 DB hdl 87.10 -1.85 84.42 98.75 2.6M 4.5M 86.22
Current. Good break higher Wednesday then nothing. Tapped at the 10 day EMA Friday and rebounded some. Still solid and looks as if it will make us money.

CHT 04/22 Rev HS 25.95 -0.15 26.60 30.55 2.4M 3.5M 25.24
Current. Gapped higher on Wednesday on strong volume. Nice. Then it turned right back down to close at the 10 day EMA on Friday. Hmm. At least low volume on the test and still perched for a great move higher.

CPST 03/12 Test BO 2.74 -0.08 2.11 3.55 2.5M 5M 2.81
Current. Got the dips after a strong run, but held the 18 day EMA on the Thursday and Friday lows and a big recover Thursday. Giving it this test to see if it will regroup and continue its strong move.

CRM 04/02 Cup hdl 68.09 -0.19 63.15 72.45 843K 2M 64.91
Current. Great week for the sales force as it surged Wednesday and held onto the move to end the week.

CSH 04/22 Test BO 48.21 +2.76 42.69 48.95 1.2M 600K 46.11
Current. Powerful move starting Wednesday ahead of earnings. We moved in that session and then it surged on the earnings and continued Friday. Super move and on another upside session we can book some gain. Pawn shops surging; as sure an indicator of an economic downturn as WMT sales.

CSH 03/27 Trnd Rv 48.21 +2.76 38.41 43.45 1.2M 700K 46.11
Current.

CSX 03/27 Test BO 61.94 +1.17 56.62 62.95 4.1M 7.5M 59.76
Current. A rail that survived some Wednesday weakness and then recovered and broke to a new high Friday. Excellent.

CSX 03/17 DB hdl 61.94 +1.17 53.85 61.45 4.1M 7.5M 59.76
Current.

CTRP 04/22 Asc Bse 60.61 +1.69 57.33 66.75 653K 1.4M 58.32
Current. China is here, Mr. Burton (from 'Big Trouble in Little China'). A different context, but it is at least back. CTRP broke higher on volume for us and is looking super. Some resistance at 63, but willing to let it give us a good trip higher with an occasional rest stop along the way.

CY 04/15 DB hdl 28.34 +0.01 28.04 34.98 3.1M 8.5M 27.44
Current. At least it has a nice pattern, forming an easy second handle. Looks great to break higher . . . again.

DE 04/16 DB hdl 90.00 +1.11 93.27 104.95 4M 5.8M 89.88
Current. Got caught in the selling headlights and was hit. Held onto the 18 day EMA Thursday and Friday and bounced. May survive and actually like the way it held up after selling on lower volume.

DO 04/09 Dbl btm 132.70 +0.05 129.88 148.95 2M 3.5M 135.91
Current. Gapped lower Thursday and held steady Friday on lower volume, tapping the 18 day EMA for the second straight session. Key point for DO to recover as it sits on support from December as well.

DRS 03/27 Cup hdl 60.79 +0.75 58.24 66.95 367K 700K 58.44
Current. Not spectacular, but trending up slightly along the 10 day EMA.

EGLE 04/17 DB hdl 29.85 +0.44 28.42 33.95 571K 750K 28.21
Current. Good week, ending it sliding laterally below some minor resistance at 30. Set up well to continue the move higher.

EWW 04/14 Test BO 59.75 -1.80 61.65 69.45 5.7M 7M 59.31
Buy Not Issued. Dropping.

FCX 04/04 Rev HS 116.98 +4.37 106.38 120.95 9.7M 18M 115.88
Current. Announced earnings and had a couple of iffy days before tapping the 18 day EMA Friday and rebounding nicely. Low trade that session so want to see it continue on up to start the week.

FLR 04/17 Rev HS 161.47 +4.42 160.21 179.95 1.3M 2.2M 157.68
Current. Tanked but recovered Thursday and added some solid upside Friday. Nice action.

FSLR 04/10 Cup hdl 288.24 +4.63 288.52 324.95 2.4M 9M 289.42
Current. Holding well, tapping the 18 day EMA on the Thursday and Friday lows and rebounding. Hanging at support and ready to move higher.

GD 04/22 PreAnn 90.92 +2.22 89.21 99.95 1.7M 2.5M 86.22
Buy Not Issued. Heading back up after a wild Wednesday session on earnings. Very low trade, however, making the move suspect.

GME 03/26 Cup hdl 56.18 +0.21 54.12 63.95 2.2M 5M 54.88
Current. Sold off early in the week but recovered some lost ground to close it out. Any weakness and we close it.

GNK 04/21 Rev HS 67.90 +0.07 68.36 79.95 449K 1M 65.77
Current. Good move early in the week, then a test of the 10 day EMA to end it, bouncing off that level. Solid still and looking for it to ship higher.

GS 04/24 Trnd Rv 192.00 +3.56 189.55 218.95 12M 16M 183.77
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher continuing the Thursday move but no volume and we were uninspired with its action after the gap. Looking for a test to start the week and then we move in.

HCBK 04/22 Test BO 19.11 +0.27 18.26 21.62 7.3M 10M 18.08
Current. Nice week as a leader in the financials led higher to a new all-time high with successive gains. Just letting it work higher.

HGT 04/08 Test 50 30.00 +0.26 28.57 32.95 196K 250K 29.57
Current. Good break higher early then a test of the 10 day EMA to end the week. Solid.

IBM 03/05 DB hdl 123.08 -1.11 117.55 133.95 6.3M 12M 122.11
Current. Sold to tap the 10 day EMA on the Friday low, still consolidating its jump on earnings. It is really set up well to move higher, and we can look at new positions.

ICE 04/24 DB hdl 160.54 +2.52 160.45 184.95 1.5M 3M 155.88
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher and traded all over the map, rebounding late. No volume so didn't enter on the session but ready this week if it can continue.

ICO 04/10 Cup hdl 8.26 0.00 7.00 8.95 2.5M 2.5M 8.48
Current. Wild week, surging on earnings and giving us a nice gain to bank, then plunging Thursday to fill the mid-April gap higher only to recover that day. Set up to move higher still.

IIVI 03/31 Cup 38.05 +1.31 38.31 44.45 376K 300K 38.11
Current. Another stock with a bronco riding week, plunging, surging, then plunging again only to recover Friday. After all this we will see if it continues higher to start the week. If it shows any waffling we will dump it and avoid having to purchase more Pepto Bismal.

IMCL 04/07 DB hdl 47.47 -0.03 48.59 55.95 1.6M 2.2M 45.95
Current. Gapped higher early then tested to end the week. Friday it tapped the 18 day EMA on the low, filling the gap and then surging back up to close flat. The gap fill is out of the way and now it can move up.

ISYS 04/05 Cup hdl 31.45 +1.31 29.42 34.95 87K 150K 27.92
Buy Not Issued. Volume was up as ISYS jumped sharply higher but it was still very weak volume and we didn't have the stomach to move into it.

JOYG 04/23 Test BO 75.69 +2.29 75.65 89.95 2M 2.8M 72.91
Buy Not Issued. Up and down to end the week but maintaining its pattern. Low trade so we did not move in, but poised still to make the break higher.

KSU 03/29 Test BO 43.66 +1.61 40.15 46.95 1.3M 1.4M 41.44
Current. Excellent action, testing the 18 day EMA Wednesday and Thursday, then surging higher Friday to a new closing high.

KWK 02/27 Test BO 41.47 +1.66 34.98 39.95 1.6M 3M 39.97
Current. Trended higher for the month, tested the 18 day EMA on Thursday and bounced Friday. Pretty typical action, i.e. testing that near support. No issues.

KWK 02/05 Test BO 41.47 +1.66 30.78 36.45 1.6M 3.4M 39.97
Current.

MANT 03/31 Test BO 47.18 -0.34 47.09 54.75 93K 357K 45.82
Current. Great recovery to keep the man in play. Stalled at 48 resistance Thursday, but still in good shape to break higher. Needs to show it however without much more of a pullback.

ME 04/21 Test BO 28.73 +0.85 29.58 33.95 832K 1.2M 28.32
Buy Not Hit. Rough week, fading to the 50 day EMA on the Thursday low then rebounding Friday and showing some better volume. This is where it needs to show the next surge off the key 50 day EMA.

ME 04/04 Test 50 28.73 +0.85 28.29 33.95 832K 1.5M 28.92
Current.

MEA 04/23 Test BO 13.45 -0.03 14.26 17.15 573K 455K 13.26
Buy Not Hit. Tapped the 10 day EMA and the February peak on the Friday low and rebounded. Nice test, still in perfect position to surge higher.

MTL 04/17 Test BO 153.05 +5.33 153.53 180.95 1.4M 1.4M 156.88
Current. Sold off with the metals Wednesday and Thursday, held the 18 day EMA, and rebounded for a nice Friday gain on solid trade. Excellent.

MTL 04/09 Rev HS 153.05 +5.33 144.35 164.95 1.4M 1.2M 156.88
Current.

NBR 03/11 DB hdl 38.32 +0.60 32.80 37.95 5.8M 8M 36.57
Current. Moved higher midweek but it was a consolidation week as NBR moved laterally waiting for the 10 day EMA to move up and catch it. Super strong.

NGS 04/19 Test BO 27.73 +0.49 29.26 34.95 125K 250K 27.21
Current. Good break higher but then lost its nerve midweek though it managed to hold the 10 day EMA on the close.

NKE 03/26 Test BO 68.74 +0.68 67.20 77.85 3.1M 6M 66.88
Current. Still waiting for NKE to just do it. Spent the week working laterally using the 10 day EMA as support. In position; just needs to move.

NUE 03/19 Test 18 75.73 +2.28 72.16 81.95 4.5M 8M 71.77
Current. A slower week but still moving higher up the 10 day EMA, showing excellent relative strength to many metal stocks.

NUVA 04/23 Test 20 40.14 +0.13 40.17 46.25 298K 600K 37.55
Current. Nice week for NUVA though it stalled out Thursday and Friday after the Wednesday breakout move. Broke its downtrend and that puts it in good position to continue to a new high.

OTEX 04/05 PreAnn 33.03 +0.01 35.31 41.95 455K 1M 32.84
Current. Sold off on the week but held the 50 day EMA. Needs to generate a bounce from here this week.

PCLN 04/19 Asc Bse 128.38 +3.35 130.31 154.95 568K 1.8M 126.31
Buy Not Issued. Still building for a new breakout, making a higher low at the 18 day EMA this week and continuing its 10 week ascending base.

PCLN 03/21 Asc Bse 128.38 +3.35 127.64 144.95 568K 2.2M 126.57
Current.

PCU 04/12 PreAnn 121.25 +3.49 120.87 139.85 1.3M 3.5M 118.55
Current. Sold back Thursday with other metals but held the 18 day EMA and bounced Friday though no trade Friday. Key week to show us some strong upside.

POT 02/09 Rev HS 207.08 +13.18 143.57 162.65 16M 7.5M 209.77
Current. Wild week with strong earnings that sold it off. It tapped the 18 day EMA on Thursday and bounced. Friday it surged on strong volume. So, just letting it go higher if it will but still watching it after this run.

PQ 03/08 Test BO 20.22 +1.09 16.46 19.95 473K 1.1M 19.11
Current. Wild Thursday, selling off to the 18 day EMA, then blasting back up Friday. No trade but oh well.

PRGO 03/15 Asc Tri 40.39 +0.23 37.85 43.95 531K 2M 38.88
Current. Working higher by quarters, just not making the break higher. Guess we will let it move as it is making us money, but an upside break would be sweet.

PSEM 04/19 Cup hdl 16.22 +0.22 16.09 19.25 476K 445K 15.22
Entered today. Strong volume as PSEM sold back then recovered. We moved in as it recovered.

PTNR 03/15 Asc Tri 22.30 -0.05 22.99 27.55 95K 325K 22.44
Current. Tough week selling back to the 50 day EMA, but it held and bounced. Needs to show us something this week or we close it.

PX 04/16 Cup hdl 95.46 +4.10 92.35 103.75 2.9M 3M 93.31
Current. Sweet move Friday, surging off the 18 day EMA on very strong trade, the strongest of the week.

RIG 02/23 Cup hdl 154.73 +2.87 142.88 163.85 4M 11M 155.55
Current. Tested the 18 day EMA on the Thursday low, capping a week long pullback. Bounced Friday though volume was low. This could be a good new buy point.

RIMM 04/09 Cup hdl 120.04 -3.62 118.75 144.95 19M 35M 122.44
Current.

RIMM 03/21 DB hdl 120.04 -3.62 111.25 126.95 19M 32M 122.44
Current. Sold on a story that the AT&T Blackberry may be delayed. It bounced back as the story is just not that critical.

RSTI 04/10 Cup hdl 44.94 -2.99 46.44 53.95 419K 485K 46.21
Exited.

SCHN 04/15 FlyPlat 87.61 +2.70 85.21 99.75 543K 850K 83.66
Current. Worked mostly laterally last week, but finished on a good note, moving to a new high. Still trending higher so letting it alone.

SCHN 04/01 Rev HS 87.61 +2.70 74.55 88.45 543K 1M 83.68
Current.

SLB 04/24 Test BO 102.74 +0.80 102.57 117.95 7M 13M 99.74
Entered today. Nice tight doji that tapped the 10 day EMA on the low and bounced. Liked the test so much we went ahead and bought some positions.

SLB 04/15 DB hdl 102.74 +0.80 92.78 105.88 7M 15M 103.88

SOHU 04/01 DB hdl 61.84 +3.83 50.31 59.95 3M 1.8M 59.74
Current. China is here, Mr. Burton. Oh; done that already. How about SOHU used to be here. It took off again Friday, gapping higher once more and off on its next leg upside.

SPWR 04/08 Cup hdl 86.29 -2.07 90.80 128.88 2.5M 5.6M 96.88
Current. Whittling downside all week on low volume. Has to show us a bounce this week.

UNP 04/24 PreAnn 140.59 +2.55 140.15 159.95 3.8M 3.2M 133.89
Entered today. Great test during the week, holding the 18 day EMA and then rebounds on volume. New closing high on volume. Cool.

URBN 03/26 Test BO 33.62 +0.68 32.46 38.95 1.8M 5.5M 31.77
Current. Nice end to the week after testing the 18 day EMA Wednesday and bouncing up each session since. Volume? Terrible, but hard to complain about it.

XTO 03/07 Test BO 64.34 +0.84 61.63 70.95 7.1M 6.2M 67.41
Current. Tough week, diving lower to the 50 day EMA on the Thursday low. Bounced off that level but the Friday move was blah. If it cannot move up from here we shut it down.

YUM 04/23 Rev HS 41.05 +0.40 40.48 46.75 3.7M 4.5M 38.32
Buy Not Issued. Continued the breakout move but volume was lower and the move slowed. Will see if it tests to 40, holds. If so that is when we move in.
