AMT 04/19 DB hdl 43.99 +0.02 42.61 48.95 2.4M 6M 42.82
Current. Could not mount another surge as it did early on Wednesday when it shot toward 46, but it is holding a good pattern and still looking for some towering gains from American Tower.

ASIA 04/01 Rev HS 13.06 +0.02 12.27 15.50 346K 500K 12.95
Current. With a name like Asia, it needs to give us a large move. Thus far baby stepping, but Tuesday it flashed strength and we are looking for that to appear again.

AXP 04/29 Rev HS 48.85 +0.15 49.22 54.45 8M 10M 49.88
Current. Tapped down to the 18 day EMA on the low and then rebounded to hold the 10 day EMA on the close. Given that action we left it to show us a rebound.

Buy Not Hit. Edging higher though no volume Thursday to send it to the breakout. Still looks solid, ready to blast higher when the financials can get it back together.

BBD 04/30 Asc Bse 22.78 -0.05 23.60 28.21 10M 10M 22.88
Current. Nice tight doji at the 18 day EMA looks to have completed the pullback. Already banked some gain on BBD and looking to move in and pick up some more positions as it rebounds off this level on volume.

BRCM 04/30 Test BO 26.14 +0.16 26.43 31.95 8.4M 23M 25.45
Current. Tight doji on the candlestick chart right on top of the 10 day EMA. Very low volume. It is winding the spring for the break higher to take it through the 200 day SMA (28).

BZP 04/16 Test 50 21.90 +0.28 20.16 24.95 651K 1M 19.38
Current. Another stock showing a tight doji on low volume as the 10 day EMA rises to meet it and send it on the next run higher in its break off the 50 day EMA. Very nice and a great set up for a new strong run higher.

CAT 04/24 Test BO 82.42 +0.79 82.57 94.95 3.1M 7.5M 79.77
Buy Not Issued. Continuing the test of near support at the 18 day EMA, basically working laterally on very low trade. Biding its time to make the next break higher and give us another buy.

CELG 03/24 Flat 62.47 -0.63 61.26 73.55 6.8M 6M 62.04
Current. Tapped the 50 day EMA on the low and rebounded. This is where this position has to show a good surge or we close it.

CHT 04/22 Rev HS 24.86 -0.12 26.60 30.55 705K 3.5M 25.57
Current. Very tight doji at the 50 day EMA on very low trade. Good set up to make the break higher off this support as it did in mid-April. Time to make that move.

CSX 03/27 Test BO 64.03 +1.22 56.62 62.95 3.2M 7.5M 62.89
Current. Bounced off the 10 day EMA after selling back Wednesday. Still low volume but as CSX continues up its 10 day EMA, no issues with this action.

CSX 03/17 DB hdl 64.03 +1.22 53.85 61.45 3.2M 7.5M 62.89
Current.

CTRP 04/22 Asc Bse 66.05 +1.93 57.33 66.75 782K 1.4M 66.21
Current. Started back up after that Wednesday gap down to the 10 day EMA. First below average trade in a week, but we are looking at some more positions as it recovers if we get some volume up.

CY 04/15 DB hdl 27.51 -0.13 28.04 34.98 3.1M 8.5M 27.44
Current. Getting impatient with CY but fought off the urge to close it given the strong Tuesday price and volume move. Will give is a bit more time to work through this.

CYBS 05/05 Test BO 17.00 -0.10 17.88 21.55 802K 1.4M 16.63
Buy Not Issued. Nice doji with tail at the 10 day EMA, reaching under that near support and then recovering to hold that level. Nice pattern and just needs to show us the breakout move.

DRS 03/27 Cup hdl 73.89 +10.15 58.24 66.95 8.6M 700K 62.88
Target Hit. Looks as if another good stock is going to get taken out. Put a great gain in our pocket so no complaints, but DRS has made us a lot of money over the years.

DRYS 04/26 DB hdl 91.91 +1.79 86.45 104.95 3.4M 6M 88.91

EGLE 04/17 DB hdl 32.76 -1.66 28.42 33.95 1.8M 750K 32.89
Current. After that surge that banked us some great gain, Eagle gapped lower, tested the 10 day EMA, but then rebounded nicely. Leting the rest work for us.

Buy Not Hit. Nice pullback to the 18 day EMA, setting up the break higher out of its pattern.

GLW 04/30 Cup 26.58 +0.40 27.00 30.89 12M 20M 26.04
Current. Held the 18 day EMA for the second session, then bounced off that level and the Wednesday selling. That maintains the break higher but GLW needs to get to work for us.

GNA 05/05 Cup hdl 16.12 +0.29 16.73 20.75 1M 1.2M 15.48
Current. Bounced up off the 10 day EMA after a quick post-breakout test. Now it is reloaded and needs to give us the buy.

Current. Reached down to the 10 day EMA on the low (72.25) and then shot back up on strong volume to post a modest gain. The buyers jumped back in after that test. Ready to continue the move now.

GS 05/06 Trnd Rv 187.72 -2.04 200.11 229.00 9.9M 15M 195.65
Buy Not Hit. Dropping but will keep watching GS for when it sets up a bit better for a break higher.

HGT 05/05 Asc Bse 30.72 +0.22 30.48 34.95 213K 345K 29.74
Current. Modest gain on lower trade but scratching out a new high and will just let it work higher for us.

IBM 04/26 FlyPlat 124.92 +0.78 125.21 139.95 9.8M 9M 121.77
Buy Not Hit. One of the big tech names that is moving up damn the market. Big volume Wednesday as it bounced and it is bumping the breakout point for a new buy. Like it.

IBM 03/05 DB hdl 124.92 +0.78 117.55 133.95 9.8M 12M 122.11
Current.

ICE 04/24 DB hdl 159.72 -0.01 160.95 189.95 1.1M 3M 154.77

Current. Gapped higher, tested lower, then continued back up to post a new high on stronger, above average volume. Just going to let this coal stock continue its move.

Exited.

ITU 04/26 DB hdl 27.91 +0.36 27.96 32.95 6.1M 9M 28.21
Current. Another foreign bank stock that already banked us some good gain and then tumbled to the 18 day EMA. Full test of the breakout and now looking for ITU to bounce and give us a new buy point.

JRJC 04/30 Dbl btm 21.90 +0.40 21.05 26.38 951K 1.8M 22.11
Current. Gapped higher after the Wednesday selling, taking back some of that loss though on lower, below average volume. May base out laterally for us another couple of sessions, but still in excellent shape to make us some great money.

KSU 03/29 Test BO 47.04 +1.29 40.15 46.95 711K 1.4M 45.21

LOW 04/10 Rev HS 24.13 -0.80 26.45 30.95 14M 16M 24.78
Exited.

LSTR 05/01 DB hdl 52.53 +0.41 54.31 62.45 444K 1.2M 51.45
Buy Not Issued. Doji at the 18 day EMA on lower volume after the Wednesday dump lower. Watching it to see how it recovers and if it can show us a break higher we can buy into.

MAN 05/07 Cup hdl 66.14 -1.07 68.45 78.95 923K 1.2M 66.48
Buy Not Hit. Not quite a manly move, slipping through the 10 day EMA toward the 18 day EMA on rising, average volume. Will see how it can shake out here. Still testing that breakout, still in good shape to break higher for us and give us a nice buy.

MATK 05/05 Test BO 34.68 +0.45 35.31 41.95 625K 750K 34.38
Buy Not Hit. Well, MATK has certainly tested the breakout, reaching below the January high that marks the top of the base and then rebounding furiously for a gain and on the best volume in over a week. Locked and loaded for the next move higher.

MEA 04/23 Test BO 14.14 +0.44 14.28 17.75 1.9M 455K 12.84
Entered today. Gapped higher, tested to fill the gap, then recovered so we moved right on in.

MOD 04/17 Trnd Rv 16.85 -0.16 16.59 20.25 123K 650K 17.04
Trailing Stop. Showed a doji at the 18 day EMA and may rebound but we closed it to free up some money for elsewhere.

MPWR 04/28 Cup hdl 23.00 -0.25 22.72 26.88 888K 685K 22.38
Current. Really reached lower intraday, tapping just below the 18 day EMA but then surging back on stronger, above average volume. That shows the buyers moved in on the dip and shows MPWR has a good bid beneath it.

MTL 04/17 Test BO 157.13 +5.08 153.53 180.95 844K 1.4M 149.88
Current. Gapped higher on low volume, but no issues with that as we are letting MTL rebound from the late April selling for as long as it will. If volume doesn't pick up it will struggle at 160, and if it does and turns lower we will book this gain.

NBR 03/11 DB hdl 39.53 +0.72 32.80 37.95 5.6M 8M 37.92
Current. Tapped the 10 day EMA on the low and rebounded on rising though below average volume. Hard to say much about the uptrend other than 'strong.' Letting the trend run as long as it will.

NKE 03/26 Test BO 64.80 -1.95 67.20 77.85 4.5M 6M 66.88
Exited. Just couldn't do it, falling below the 50 day SMA on rising, above average volume.

NSC 05/06 Test BO 62.28 +1.10 62.54 71.95 2.6M 3.6M 59.38

NUE 03/19 Test 18 81.87 +3.30 72.16 81.95 4.7M 8M 78.32
Current. Screaming to a new high though volume contracted further below average. Just letting this trend continue trending.

NUVA 04/23 Test 20 38.18 +0.16 40.17 46.25 207K 600K 37.55
Current. Doji over the 50 day EMA on very, very low volume. This is where NUVA needs to show us some newva life.

NVDA 05/07 DB hdl 21.95 -0.06 22.68 27.85 30M 21M 21.45
Buy Not Hit. Down after hours on its earnings but then on the conference call jumped back up to where it closed. Will see if it gives it the impetus to breakout.

OTEX 04/05 PreAnn 36.42 -0.53 35.31 41.95 724K 1M 36.92
Current. Down sharply early, clipping the 18 day EMA but then reversing and jumping back up on rising, above average volume to hold the 10 day EMA on the close. Good shakeout and now we watch for OTEX to continue that sharp upside move logged on its strong earnings report.

PCLN 04/19 Asc Bse 123.78 +1.75 131.71 154.95 2M 1.8M 135.88
Current. Held the 50 day EMA once more during the session then announced some solid results after hours and PCLN was trading at 141 as the after hours session closed out. Can handle that. Will see what kind of volatility is built into the options in the morning and we can take some gain if they are pumped up nicely.

PCLN 03/21 Asc Bse 123.78 +1.75 127.64 144.95 2M 2.2M 135.88
Current.

PSEM 04/19 Cup hdl 16.07 -0.21 16.09 19.25 310K 445K 16.12
Current. Reached below support at 16 but then managed to hold it on the close so left it there for another session.

PTNR 03/15 Asc Tri 22.34 0.00 22.99 27.55 84K 325K 22.44
Exited. Held the 50 day EMA again but after the high volume selling that pushed it down decided to bag it to free up money for elsewhere.

QQQQ 05/06 Test 20 48.40 +0.36 49.21 52.60 128M 140M 48.04
Buy Not Hit. Nice hold at the 200 day SMA by the large caps. Still looking for a breakout, just biding our time to see if it can do it on this round.

RIG 05/03 PreAnn 157.30 -0.10 154.38 175.75 7.9M 7M 153.78
Current. Tested below the 10 day EMA on the low then rebounded to flat as volume held above average. Good higher low and now looking for a continued move higher from here.

RIMM 04/09 Cup hdl 131.18 +1.20 118.75 144.95 16M 35M 129.89
Current. Gapped lower to the 10 day EMA to fill the early May gap higher and then rebounded for a gain. Nice gap fill and RIMM is now set to continue its move higher.

RIMM 03/21 DB hdl 131.18 +1.20 111.25 126.95 16M 32M 129.89
Current.

RIMM 02/09 Dbl btm 131.18 +1.20 92.30 105.95 16M 32M 129.89
Current.

RIO 04/12 Rev HS 40.01 +0.95 37.38 44.95 20M 40M 34.98
Buy Not Issued. Dropping for now and going to let it set up again

RMBS 04/29 FlyPlat 22.90 -0.34 24.39 29.45 1.4M 3.5M 22.77
Buy Not Hit. Dipping below the 18 day EMA on the close. Going to let it set up better and then revisit when it does.

RTH 05/07 Test 20 94.70 -0.92 97.75 107.00 7.6M 10M 95.22
Buy Not Hit. Sold off to the 50 day EMA on rising trade after the same store sales. Dropping for now but will let it set up again and keep an eye on it.

SCHN 04/15 FlyPlat 94.37 +1.07 85.21 99.75 423K 850K 90.38
Current. Continued higher with a modest gain on lower volume. Traded up and down but by the close it was up again and still in its very impressive uptrend.

Current.

SOHU 04/01 DB hdl 75.94 +4.42 50.31 59.95 3.7M 1.8M 76.39
Current. After selling back Wednesday to the 10 day EMA, SOHU surged back up on lower but still very strong volume. Hard to keep this stock down.

SOL 05/03 Test 18 17.43 +0.38 17.28 23.85 1.1M 1.2M 16.74
Current. Nice tight doji at the 10 day EMA, tapping that on the low and rebounding for a modest gain. In excellent position to surge for us.

SPWR 04/08 Cup hdl 83.68 +0.23 90.80 128.88 1.7M 5.6M 96.88
Current. Low volume and holding the 50 day EMA on the close. Not a bad pullback and SPWR is still showing accumulation, indicating it can still give us one of those sun powered surges higher.

TEX 04/28 Rev HS 72.18 +0.27 74.91 89.95 1.9M 3M 71.32
Current. Doji at the 10 day EMA on lower trade. Still in position to continue the break higher.

TTEK 05/06 Test BO 23.47 +0.50 23.65 28.45 523K 900K 22.55

URBN 03/26 Test BO 32.39 -0.51 32.46 38.95 3.6M 5.5M 32.77
Exited. Not a great reaction to sales and moving slowly so closed it to use the money elsewhere.

Current. Super break higher to clear the April high and post a new all-time high.
