Ascending Triangle (continuation) on FAST

This week I discovered a pattern developing on FAST. As we can see in the chart, when this stock reaches $38, the price cannot seem to break through the resistance level and moves lower. As the lower ascending trend line moves closer to the resistance level, selling pressure will continue to weaken. Once the downward […]

Time to Sell Weyerhaeuser (WY)

Weyerhaeuser (WY) has been on a strong rally, with shares appreciating more than 50% since hitting a 52-week low in July of last year. Now trading at $85/share, this stock is on my radar for a nice short selling opportunity.
In the company’s fourth quarter of ‘06, strong sales in the fine paper and real estate […]

LEN Head and Shoulders Pattern

Over the past few weeks a head and shoulders pattern has been forming on Lennar’s stock. This stock has been enjoying a nice rally off of its lows, albeit in a weaker uptrend due to the continued weakness in the homebuilder industry.

Bargain Basket 2/20/07 - 2/23/07

This week I have a few cheap stocks that will go into the bargain basket. In addition to the undervalued stocks, I found some interesting options activity on another seemingly cheap stock.

SIRI & XMSR Tie the Knot

After nearly a year of speculation, the two companies finally decided to enter an agreement to merge. If you own the stock, don’t get too excited yet. The government is certainly going to take a long look at the regulatory concerns posed by the merger. Earlier this year, the head of the Federal Communications Commission […]

Small Cap Picks

Lately, I have been searching for a few small cap stocks to add to my portfolio. Last year small cap stocks lagged behind the mid and large cap indices, primarily due to another record year for mergers and acquisitions. In 2007 you should expect more of the same. However, this does not mean you should […]

Sales of Motor Homes

This was an interesting video on the popularity of RVs. Baby boomers from New England and other northern states continue to buy retirement properties in the south, and typically leave behind children and grandchildren.

New Trend in PDLI

Looking at historic price and volume trends, we see a pattern beginning to emerge on the shares of PDLI.
