BRIEF COMMENTS ON SELECT WATCH LIST STOCKS:
Large Cap Watch List:
BCR - Failed to hold onto Wednesday's nice gains, appears destined for its gap support zone between 127-130.
GOOG - Attempting another breakout; could use more volume.
M - Could close at its highest level since early in December.
MCHP - Nice rally on big volume yesterday. Short-term trendline resistance just above 43.00, that's the next obstacle technically.
PRGO - Volatility has exploded here with PRGO down 5 bucks today. Very strange action, but it would appear that 50 day SMA and MACD centerline tests are in order.
Mid Cap Watch List:
AYI - Hit 106.95 yesterday, just 5 cents below our Target Price. As far as I'm concerned, this is a target hit. Time for profits and see if another trade on AYI sets up. GREAT TRADE!!!
ASNA - Rallying off of yesterday's bullish engulfing candle.
CRR - Triggered our Second Entry at 113.50. A strong finish would be bullish.
FDML - Has found support previously near 19.00.
FINL - WE ARE REMOVING FINL FROM OUR WATCH LIST IMMEDIATELY AS THEY REPORT EARNINGS ON FRIDAY. FINL is up nicely from our last re-entry at the 50 day SMA. GREAT TRADE!!!
AWAY - Huge winner off our last re-entry price. There's short-term resistance near 40.00 and volume is light so taking profits again on this one wouldn't be a horrible thing at the current level. We'll keep our 44 target, but 40 resistance could be a challenge.
NTCT - Nice continuing rally off of the support test on Tuesday and Wednesday.
OPEN - A move back above 80 with a close there would help the bulls' case here.
TTEK - LOVED Wednesday's candle, holding support with a hammer.
VIPS - Rally cap is on.
Small Cap Watch List:
ELY - Finally rebounding with gusto. Volume is strong today after this morning's gap higher. A close at or near the high would be more bullish.
MMSI - Seems as though it's simply drifting towards our Final Entry at 14.40. Down over 3% today, but volume is extremely light.
NTRI - 16.75 is our Second Entry and today's low was just four pennies away.
RLD - Needs more volume.
DELETIONS FROM OUR WATCH LISTS:
FINL as they report earnings on Friday.
Happy trading!
