CFK - Wedge - Go Long

Symbol: CFK
[X] Entry
Duration: 3 Months
Direction: Go Long

CFK is in the Industrial Equipment sector which continues to be bullish (see the cube rating below). It has been inching up lately to a potential breakout area and with earnings around the corner, that may be the impetus to spring forward. The volume flows are positive and although I've taken an intial entry, unless I get a pop before earnings, I'll likely be careful and use this as the first scale in if it remains positive. .

DD - Breakout - Go Long

Symbol: DD
[X] Entry
Duration: 3 Months
Direction: Go Long

DD is a large cap stock in the DJIA which is benefiting from international exposure. It trades in the Chemicals sector and has been base building for months now. It looks primed to break out and is worth taking a hard look at before it breaks topside. Earnings are up in a few days and I don't know that it will wait on earnings to do its thing. .

IAG - Broken Trend Line - Go Long

Symbol: IAG
[X] Entry
Duration: 6 Months
Direction: Go Long

IAG is in the precious metals sector. I've featured a few of these lately and this is another one that looks primed to run. Look at the nice volume spikes of late; the broken down trend line; the flag/wedge formation currently and the resistance lines being another $1 to $1.75 higher. Can't help but point out a sector that's both working and a lot safer than most in this market environment. .

GLD - Wedge - Go Long

Symbol: GLD
[X] Entry
Duration: 6 Months
Direction: Go Long

GLD is in the ETF for gold in the precious metals sector. A year and a half ago, gold pushed to a high of $730 or so and since then has built out a huge upward sloping wedge formation. Lately prices have been very sticky as there is no willingness to sell any longer. That stick behavior and the fact that several o fthe metals stocks have taken out key swing points on volume suggests that a further rise is likely to unfold. Buying some here in anticipation of the next move is not a bad idea as long as you keep in mind what time frame you are working on with the trade..

PAAS - Breakout - Go Long

Symbol: PAAS
[X] Entry
Duration: 6 Months
Direction: Go Long

PAAS is in the precious metals sector. It has been working to break above the swing point at the $29.45 area for the past few days. A break there will lead to a momentum move back to the highs. It looks to be a matter of time. It still could retrace back down into the range here so it's a speculative buy at this juncture. Stochastic is overbought so we may pull back once more before we take it out convincingly. If you set your time frames from 3-6 months though, it looks to be a winner. .

The precious metals sector is supportive of a move gain, the general market as well and the stock itself is gaining strength looking at the Cube readings. Short interest is also reasonably high for a stock of this size.

UCO - Gap - Go Long

Symbol: UCO
[X] Entry
Duration: 3 Months
Direction: Go Long

UCO is in the Oil and Gas Equipment services sector and recently scored a gap up move which is holding. That sets up another attack at higher highs so I've taken a position in preparation for that move. General market is likely due for a pull back near term and that could cap any gains, but an entry position in this area is a likely good one assuming that the gap can hold on a near term basis. The Trading Cube also shows an almost picture perfert long position here

DEO - Wedge - Go Long

Symbol: DEO
[X] Entry
Duration: 3 Months
Direction: Go Long

DEO is in the beverages sector and after a long period of consolidation, yesterday it showed strength once more. In a bullish market I am looking for stocks that look relatively safe in the time frame we are trading them that can be pulled higher by the rising tide of higher prices in general. This looks like a decent candidate although I would be more interested if the sector showed more strength (see the cube below). As a result, this will be a smaller position.

Gone Fishing

Time pressures are not allowing me to post here currently. It could be this way for a couple weeks; so gone fishing for a little while. Look back here in a couple weeks for us to start afresh.
