Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. (FCX), through its subsidiaries, engages in the exploration, mining, and production of copper, gold, and silver. It holds interests primarily in the Grasberg open pit and the Deep Ore Zone mines in Indonesia. FCX recently acquired PD, which was another favorite stock of mine. FCX has been based along monthly highs since the beginning of last year and recently broke free from the symmetrical triangle it had been forming on that time frame. I will be watching for a setup on the daily time frame to pick up some shares in FCX for a position trade. This month's lows will be support.



Positions in green have triggered and are profitable. Positions in red have triggered but are not yet profitable. Those in blue have not yet triggered.

2/5/2007 Carpenter Technology Corporation (CRS) engages in the manufacture, fabrication, and distribution of specialty metals and engineered products. This is a stock I have been watching for a couple of weeks and was on last week's watch list. At this point it is a little overbought on the daily time frame, but it holds great potential for a continuation pattern on any pullback or correction off the current resistance. It was forming a triangle on the weekly and monthly charts throughout much of last year, breaking the upper trend channel just over a week ago. The 20 week simple moving average is support.

1/22/2007 Harman International Industries, Incorporated (HAR) engages in the development, manufacture, and marketing of audio products and electronic systems worldwide. Ever since 2004 HAR has been in a narrowing range, forming a nice triangle on the monthly charts. It hit the highs of the triangle for the third time in October and most triangle's break on the third or fourth test of highs or will hit the third time and base or range on a smaller time frame and then break it. I'll be dropping down to the daily and weekly charts looking for a smaller time frame buy setup to take a long position with plans to hold for several years.
